Electron–interface phonon interaction in multiple quantum well structures
Intersubband relaxation rates due to electron interactions with the interface phonons are evaluated for multiple quantum well structures designed for step quantum well lasers operating at mid-infrared to submillimetre wavelengths. The interface phonon modes and electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonians for the structures are derived using the transfer matrix method, based on the macroscopic diel...
متن کاملPhonon softening and double-well potential formation due to electron-phonon interaction in heavy-fermion systems
We investigate the periodic Anderson-Holstein model by using the dynamical mean-field theory combined with the exact diagonalization method. For the strong electron-phonon coupling g > ∼ gc, the system shows an anomalous heavy-fermion behaviour which is accompanied by a large lattice fluctuation and an extreme phonon softening. We also calculate an effective potential for the ions and find that...
متن کاملConductance suppression due to correlated electron transport in coupled double quantum dots
The electrostatic interaction between two capacitively coupled metal double-dots is studied at low temperatures. Experiments show that when the Coulomb blockade is lifted by applying appropriate gate biases to both double-dots, the conductance through each double-dot becomes significantly lower than when only one doubledot is conducting. A master equation is derived for the system and the resul...
متن کاملElectron Spin Relaxation in a Semiconductor Quantum Well
A fully microscopic theory of electron spin relaxation by the D’yakonov-Perel’ type spin-orbit coupling is developed for a semiconductor quantum well in an ambient magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the well. We derive Bloch equations for an electron spin in the well and determine explicit microscopic expressions for the spin relaxation times. The dependencies of the electron ...
متن کاملIntrasubband and Intersubband Electron Relaxation in Semiconductor Quantum Wire Structures
We calculate the intersubband and intrasubband many-body inelastic Coulomb scattering rates due to electron-electron interaction in two-subband semiconductor quantum wire structures. We analyze our relaxation rates in terms of contributions from interand intrasubband charge-density excitations separately. We show that the intersubband (intrasubband) charge-density excitations are primarily resp...
