description

Phonon-induced decoherence of orbital degrees of freedom in quantum dots (QDs) (GaAs/InAs) is studied and the relevant time-scales are estimated versus dot dimension. Dephasing of excitons due to acoustic phonons and optical phonons, including enhancement of the effective Frohlich constant caused by localization, is assessed for the state-of-art QDs. Temporal inefficiency of Pauli blocking in QDs due to lattice inertia is additionally predicted. For QD placed in a diluted magnetic semiconductor medium a magnon induced dephasing of spin is estimated in accordance with experimental results for Zn(Mn)Se/CdSe. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
