Carrier relaxation dynamics in InAs/InP quantum dots
The electronic properties of InAs/InP(113)B double-cap quantum dots (QDs) emitting around 1.55 μm are investigated. The carrier dynamics in QDs is studied by non-resonant timeresolved photoluminescence (tr-PL) experiments. This analysis reveals the QD electronic structure and the transient filling of the confined QD levels. Under low excitation densities, the spontaneous exciton lifetime is est...
متن کاملSlow hot-carrier relaxation in colloidal graphene quantum dots.
Reducing hot-carrier relaxation rates is of great significance in overcoming energy loss that fundamentally limits the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Semiconductor quantum dots are expected to have much slower carrier cooling because the spacing between their discrete electronic levels is much larger than phonon energy. However, the slower carrier cooling is difficult to observe due to...
متن کاملCarrier relaxation dynamics in lead sulfide colloidal quantum dots.
We report transient absorption saturation measurements on lead sulfide colloidal nanocrystals at the first and second exciton energies and fit the results to a model incorporating intraband and interband relaxation processes. We study in detail the Auger recombination from the first excited state, which takes place when more than one electron-hole pair is excited in a dot. We find an Auger coef...
متن کاملSpin relaxation in quantum dots
Results are given for spin relaxation in quantum dots due to acoustic phonon-assisted flips of single spins at low temperatures. The dominant spin relaxation processes for varying dot size, temperature, and magnetic field are identified. These processes are mediated by the spin-orbit interaction and are described within a generalized effective mass treatment. Particular attention is given to ph...
متن کاملElectron Spin-Phonon Relaxation in Quantum Dots
We calculate the spin relaxation rates in parabolic quantum dots due to the phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction in presence of an external magnetic field. Both, deformation potential (DP) and piezoelectric (PE) electron-phonon couplings are included in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the spin relaxation rates are particularly sensitive with the Landé g...
