Spins and Phonons in Graphene Nanostructures
Quantum information science relies on quantum systems with sufficiently long coherence times. A spintronics implementation in graphene would benefit from the low density of nuclear spins in carbon and small spin-orbit interactions. The coupling of the spin to lattice dynamics puts an upper bound on spin coherence times. In addition, phonons in graphene are interesting due to the monatomic thick...
متن کاملSemianalytical model for simulation of electronic properties of narrow-gap strained semiconductor quantum nanostructures
A complete semi-analytical model is proposed for the simulation of the electronic, mechanical and piezoelectric properties of narrow gap strained semiconductor quantum nanostructures. A transverse isotropic approximation for the strain and a new axial approximation for the strained 8x8 Hamiltonian are proposed. It is applied extensively to the case of InAs/InP quantum dots (QD). Symmetry analys...
متن کاملImaging Impurities in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Atomic impurities are critical for many technologies. They are used to engineer the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors for applications such as transistors, solar cells, lightemitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers, as well as to store energy for applications such as batteries and electrochemical cells. While the characterization and understanding of impurities in bulk semiconductor...
متن کاملCharge Detection in Semiconductor Nanostructures
In this thesis nanometer scale charge sensors are used to study charge transport in two solid state systems: Lateral GaAs quantum dots and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). In both of these experiments we use time-resolved charge sensing to study electron transport in regimes that are not accessible to traditional transport measurements. For the lateral GaAs quantum dot experiments, we u...
متن کاملBound polarons in semiconductor nanostructures
Bound polarons are discrete, confined electronic states, spatially localized due to a local potential V(r) but sharing a common phonon state of the surrounding crystal. We study the energy states of polarons bound in a potential and determine the local optical absorption spectrum up to first-order time-dependent perturbation theory with respect to the electron-photon interaction. The model is a...
