Phonon Enhanced Inverse Population in Asymmetric Double Quantum Wells
Interwell optical-phonon-assisted transitions are studied in an asymmetric double-quantum-well heterostructure comprising one narrow and one wide coupled quantum wells (QW’s). We show that the depopulation rate of the lower subband states in the narrow QW can be significantly enhanced, thus facilitating the intersubband inverse population, if the depopulated subband is aligned with the second s...
متن کاملTunneling Effects between Tori in Double Wells
We consider tunneling between 2 symmetric potential wells for a 2-d Schrodinger operator, in the case of eigenvalues associated with with quasi=modes supported on KAM or Birkhoff tori. 0. Introduction. We consider here tunneling between 2 symmetric potential wells for a 2-d Schrödinger operator P = −h2∆ + V in the limit h → 0, near some energy level E0 = 0 close to the non degenerate minima of ...
متن کاملAmbipolar Tunneling in Near-surface Quantum Wells
We study the photoluminescence from a near-surface quantum well in the regime of ambipolar tunneling to the surface states. Under steady-state excitation an electric field develops self-consistently due to the condition of equal tunneling currents for electrons and holes. The field induces a Stark shift of the photolumi-nescence signal which compares well with experimental data from near-surfac...
متن کاملCollective excitations in asymmetric parabolic quantum wells
We study within the linear response theory the far-infrared optical absorption spectrum and the collective excitations of an asymmetric, wide parabolic AlxGa1−xAs quantum well, consisting of two half-parabolas of different curvatures, in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We employ a self-consistent-field approach in the local-density approximation using parameter values of a recent ex...
متن کاملTunneling in asymmetric double well: instanton calculus
The level splitting formula of an asymmetric double well potential is calculated taking into account the multi-instanton contributions (dilute gas approximation). Results can be related with known semiclassical ones obtained with a truncated hamiltonian, and the symmetric case is easily recovered provided we consider the right limit. ICP: 03.65, 02.30 Instanton calculations when applied in Quan...
