Tunneling current induced phonon generation in nanostructures
We analyze generation of phonons in tunneling structures with two electron states coupled by electron-phonon interaction. The conditions of strong vibration excitations are determined and dependence of non-equilibrium phonon occupation numbers on the applied bias is found. For high vibration excitation levels self consistent theory for the tunneling transport is presented. Tunneling current ind...
متن کاملPhonon Transport in Nanostructures
Recent experiments aiming to produce TiO2 nanostructures have been riddled with complications. It has been found that an undesired reaction occurs with the water used in the flaking process producing a sulphurous smell. This product suggests the production of TiOxS2−x in the layered crystal structure. This nanostructure has great potential benefits for the construction of semiconductor devices ...
متن کاملSpontaneous current generation in gated nanostructures
– We have observed an unusual dc current spontaneously generated in the conducting channel of a short-gated GaAs transistor. The magnitude and direction of this current critically depend upon the voltage applied to the gate. We propose that it is initiated by the injection of hot electrons from the gate that relax via phonon emission. The phonons then excite secondary electrons from asymmetrica...
متن کاملBias-Induced Optical Absorption of Current Carrying Two-Orbital Quantum Dot with Strong Electron-Phonon Interaction (Polaron Regime)
The one photon absorption (OPA) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (QD) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. Using the self-consistent non-equilibrium Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, we determine the dependence of OPA cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...
متن کاملYoctocalorimetry: phonon counting in nanostructures
It appears feasible with nanostructures to perform calorimetry at the level of individual thermal phonons. Here I outline an approach employing monocrystalline mesoscopic insulators, which can now be patterned from semiconductor heterostructures into complex geometries with full, three-dimensional relief. Successive application of these techniques also enables definition of integrated nanoscale...
