Aharonov-Bohm signature for neutral polarized excitons in type-II quantum dot ensembles.

چکیده
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is commonly believed to be a typical feature of the motion of a charged particle interacting with the electromagnetic vector potential. Here we present a magnetophotoluminescence study of type-II InP/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots, revealing the Aharonov-Bohm-type oscillations for neutral excitons when the hole ground state changes its angular momentum from l(h)=0 to l(h)=1, 2, and 3. The hole-ring parameters derived from a simple model are in excellent agreement with the structural parameters for this system.

Impurity effects on the Aharonov-Bohm optical signatures of neutral quantum-ring magnetoexcitons
We study the role of impurity scattering on the photoluminescence (PL) emission of polarized magnetoexcitons. We consider systems where both the electron and hole are confined on a ring structure (quantum rings) as well as on a type-II quantum dot. Despite their neutral character, excitons exhibit strong modulation of energy and oscillator strength in the presence of magnetic fields. Scattering...

The quantum nature of matter lies in the wave function phases that accumulate while particles move along their trajectories. A prominent example is the Aharonov-Bohm phase, which has been studied in connection with the conductance of nanostructures. However, optical response in solids is determined by neutral excitations, for which no sensitivity to magnetic flux would be expected. We propose a...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence and magneto-optical properties of multilayered type-II ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots
Multilayered Zn–Se–Te structures grown by migration enhanced epitaxy are studied by temperatureand excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL) as well as magneto-PL. The PL consists of two bands: a blue band, overlaid with band edge sharp lines, dominant at low temperatures and high excitation, and a green band, which appears at elevated temperature and low excitation. Upon varying excitation i...

In this paper we study the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of transmission coefficient for an electron passing through a quantum nanoring with two identical magnetic impurities using quantum waveguide theory. It is shown that the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are independent of the coupling constant between the electron and magnetic impurities for the singlet spin state of impurities, while for the o...
