Realization of a robust single-parameter quantized charge pump
2008
This paper describes a novel scheme for quantized charge pumping based on single-parameter modulation. The device is realized in an AlGaAs-GaAs gated nanowire. A particular advantage of this realization is that operation in the quantized regime can be achieved in a potentially large range of amplitude and dc off-set of the driving signal. This feature together with the simple configuration might enable large scale parallel operation of many such devices.
Resonant Raman scattering in quantum wells in high magnetic fields: Deformation-potential interaction.
1992
A theoretical study of one-phonon resonant Raman scattering in a quantum well (QW) in high magnetic fields has been performed. The Raman profiles are calculated as a function of magnetic field, quantum-well thickness, and laser frequency. The basic theory is first developed assuming parabolic masses in the plane perpendicular to the growth direction of the QW. Selection rules for deformation-potential-allowed scattering are given and a compact analytical expression for the Raman-scattering efficiency is obtained for infinite barriers. The double-resonance conditions are derived as a function of the magnetic field or well thickness. In a second part of the work, the heavy-hole\char21{}light-…
Mixing of Two-Quasiparticle Configurations
2007
In this chapter we discuss configuration mixing of two-quasiparticle states. It is caused by the residual interaction remaining beyond the quasiparticle mean field defined in Chap. 13. We derive the equations of motion by the EOM method developed in Sect. 11.1. To accomplish this we need to express the residual Hamiltonian in terms of quasiparticles.
Electric-field-induced Raman scattering in GaAs: Franz-Keldysh oscillations
1995
We have studied the influence of strong electric fields on the Raman scattering intensity from LO phonons in GaAs (100) at room temperature using laser excitation energies above the fundamental ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ gap. Striking oscillations are found in the scattering intensity for configurations where either the deformation potential or Fr\"ohlich electron-phonon interaction contribute. The oscillations in the deformation-potential-mediated scattering intensity can be related to Franz-Keldysh oscillations derived from the ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ gap, whereas a more complicated mechanism has to be invoked for processes where Fr\"ohlich interaction is responsible.
Constraints of reduced density-matrix functional theory for the two-dimensional homogeneous electron gas
2011
Reduced density-matrix functional theory (RDMFT) has become an appealing alternative to density-functional theory to describe electronic properties of strongly correlated systems. Here we derive exact conditions for the suitability of RDMFT to describe the two-dimensional homogeneous electron gas, which is the base system for semiconductor quantum dots and quantum Hall devices, for example. Following the method of Cioslowski and Pernal [J. Chem. Phys. 111, 3396 (1999)] we focus on the properties of power functionals of the form $f(n,{n}^{\ensuremath{'}})={(n{n}^{\ensuremath{'}})}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ for the scaling function in the exchange-correlation energy. We show that in order to hav…
Acceptor Concentration Dependence of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Dynamics in Dye–Quantum Dot Complexes
2014
The dynamics of the photoinduced Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in a perylene diimide–quantum dot organic–inorganic hybrid system has been investigated by femtosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The bidentate binding of the dye acceptor molecules to the surface of CdSe/CdS/ZnS multishell quantum dots provides a well-defined dye-QD geometry for which the efficiency of the energy transfer reaction can be easily tuned by the acceptor concentration. In the experiments, the spectral characteristics of the chosen FRET pair facilitate a selective photoexcitation of the quantum dot donor. Moreover, the acceptor related transient absorption change that occurs solely after energy…
Effect of Packing on Cluster Solvation of Nanotubes
2006
It is discussed the possibility of the existence of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in organic solvents in the form of clusters, containing a number of SWNTs. A theory is developed based on a bundlet model for clusters, which enables describing the distribution function of clusters by size. Comparison of the calculated values of solubility with experimental data would permit obtaining energetic parameters characterizing the interaction of an SWNT with its surrounding, in a solid phase or solution. Fullerenes—SWNTs are unique objects, whose behaviour in many physical situations is characterized by remarkable peculiarities. Peculiarities in solutions show up first in that fullerenes—SWNT…

Light-induced anomalous Hall effect in massless Dirac fermion systems and topological insulators with dissipation
2019
Employing the quantum Liouville equation with phenomenological dissipation, we investigate the transport properties of massless and massive Dirac fermion systems that mimics graphene and topological insulators, respectively. The massless Dirac fermion system does not show an intrinsic Hall effect, but it shows a Hall current under the presence of circularly-polarized laser fields as a nature of a optically-driven nonequilibrium state. Based on the microscopic analysis, we find that the light-induced Hall effect mainly originates from the imbalance of photocarrier distribution in momentum space although the emergent Floquet–Berry curvature also has a non-zero contribution. We further compute…
Disentangling size effects and spectral inhomogeneity in carbon nanodots by ultrafast dynamical hole-burning.
2018
Carbon nanodots (CDs) are a novel family of nanomaterials exhibiting unique optical properties. In particular, their bright and tunable fluorescence redefines the paradigm of carbon as a "black" material and is considered very appealing for many applications. While the field keeps growing, understanding CDs fundamental properties and relating them to their variable structures becomes more and more critical. Two crucial problems concern the effect of size on the electronic structure of CDs, and to what extent their optical properties are influenced by structural disorder. Furthermore, it remains largely unclear whether traditional concepts borrowed from the photo-physics of semiconductor qua…
