有机高分子链内的场致激子解离

基于SSH(Su-Schrieffer-Heeger)模型,采用静态及动力学自洽算法模拟了有机高分子链内激子在光激发及外电场作用下的形成与解离过程。结果表明,受光激发后,有机高分子链内激子的生成与解离密切依赖于施加外电场的时机,当外电场与光激发同时发生时,激子能否生成完全取决于电场强度的大小;而当外电场在光激发后的一段时间(通常为皮秒量级)之后被引入,则在有机高分子链内能够形成稳定的激子,且该激子只有在强外电场(超过1MV/cm)的作用下,才会发生解离,临界场强量级与实验结果相符合。     

电场中高分子的发光和激子的解离

共轭高聚物双分子结构中激子电致解离的动力学研究

通过绝热动力学方法，研究了共轭高聚物双分子结构中激子对外加电场的响应.当外电场强度超过某个临界值时，激子会被解离成一对自由的电子与空穴.对于双分子结构中的激子，其临界解离电场除了受电子与电子相互作用以及电声相互作用影响之外，还受分子间相互作用的影响.由动力学演化的计算得到，激子临界解离电场强度随分子间相互作用强度的增大而呈非线性降低；随电子与电子相互作用强度的增大呈非线性减小的变化；但是，随电声耦合强度的增大却呈现出线性增大的变化.     

一维二元非对角关联无序体系跳跃电导特性

在单电子紧束缚无序模型基础上，建立了一维二元关联无序体系电子跳跃输运直流电导模型，并推导了其直流电导公式，通过计算其直流电导率，探讨了格点能量无序度、非对角关联及温度、外场对体系跳跃电导的影响.计算结果表明，一维二元无序体系的直流电导率随着格点能量无序度的增大而减小；当引入非对角关联时，体系出现退局域化现象，从而使体系的直流电导率增大；温度对体系的电子输运的影响表现为体系的直流电导率随温度的升高而增大；在外加电场的调制下，体系的直流电导率在强场区随电场强度增加而增长很快，呈现出非欧姆定律特性，但在弱场区外场的作用不明显. 关键词： 二元无序体系 跳跃电导 格点能量无序度 非对角关联     

共轭高聚物中极化子散射引起的激子迁移(英文)

基于Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH)模型并考虑到Brazovskii-Kirova对称破缺项,研究了共轭聚合物中注入极化子和激子在外电场下的散射过程.研究发现在外场作用下极化子总是能通过激子,而激子的运动行为则密切依赖于电场的强度.如果电场大于临界电场3.0×10~5V/cm,那么激子与极化子散射后并不发生任何运动;然而当电场小于此临界值时,激子将在极化子运动的相反方向上有一个明显的位移.激子在弱电场下所发生的这种迁移运动,是由于同极化子发生了慢散射作用.

Influence of Magnetic Confinement on the Yellow Excitons in Cuprous Oxide Subject to an Electric Field

We study the spectrum of the yellow exciton series in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The electric field, applied along the optical axis, tilts the Coulomb potential between electron and hole, so that at sufficiently high fields exciton dissociation becomes possible, roughly when the electric dipole interaction energy exceeds the binding energy of an exciton state with principal quantum number n. For an applied voltage of U = 20 V all excitons above n = 6 are dissociated. Additional application of a magnetic field normal to the optical axis introduces magnetic confinement, due to which above a threshold field strength around B = 2.5 T the exciton lines re-emerge. The complex dispersion with increasing fields suggests quantum chaotic behavior in this crossed field configuration, so that the search for exceptional points may be promising.     

Non-perturbative multiphoton excitation studies in an excitonic coupled quantum well system using high-intensity THz laser fields

Multiphoton excitations and nonlinear optical properties of exciton states in GaAs/Al_xGa_(1-x)As coupled quantum well structure have been theoretically investigated under the influence of a time-varying high-intensity terahertz(THz) laser field. Non-perturbative Floquet theory is employed to solve the time-dependent equation of motion for the laser-driven excitonic quantum well system. The response to the field parameters, such as intensity and frequency of the laser electric field on the state populations, can be used in various optical semiconductor device applications, such as photodetectors,sensors, all-optical switches, and terahertz emitters.

Influence of the Wavefunction Distribution on Exciton Dissociation in Electric Field

We show that the dissociation threshold of an exciton, a bound electron-hole pair, by an electric field is mainly determined by its energy: as expected, the dissociation voltage decreases with increasing exciton energy. However, within the multiplet of states belonging to a particular principal quantum number n, the dissociation voltage rises with increasing state energy, in contrast to the expectations based on energy arguments. This behavior is demonstrated for the yellow exciton states of Cu₂O and is attributed to the distribution of the wavefunction in the potential landscape, where the lower (higher) lying state in the multiplet is shifted away (towards) the tunnel barrier.     

Discovery of bound exciton in ZnSe : Cu

A new bound exciton with the dissociation energy of 32 meV was observed in ZnSe : Cu by electroabsorption. The dependence of the electroabsorption peak on an electric field, the absorption and the photoluminescence spectra show that the bound exciton is associated with Cu²⁺.     

Control of indirect exciton population in an asymmetric quantum dot molecule

We analyze the problem of coherent population transfer to the indirect exciton state in an asymmetric double semiconductor quantum dot molecule that interacts with an external electromagnetic field. Using the controlled rotation method, we obtain analytical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and determine closed-form conditions for the parameters of the applied field and the quantum system that lead to complete population transfer to the indirect exciton state, in the absence of decay effects. Then, by numerical solution of the relevant density matrix equations we study the influence of decay mechanisms to the efficiency of population transfer.     

Excitonic effects of bilayer graphene: A simple approach

The present work investigates the excitonic effects on the bilayer graphene with layers of different thickness under the influence of external electric field through a simple numerical approach. The band structure and energy gap have been calculated using a tight-binding model including parameters like the second-nearest-neighbor-hopping energies t′ (in-plane) and γ (intra-layer) and the on-site energy Δ, in details. The binding energy of exciton for bilayer graphene has been calculated by Wannier model and Hartree–Fock approximation through the Bethe–Salpeter equation. Finally the optical conductivity spectrum of bilayer graphene has been calculated by using the effective mass approximation in two band model.     

Exciton states in asymmetric GaInNAs/GaAs coupled quantum wells in an applied electric field

The electronic and optical properties of exciton states in GaInNAs/GaAs coupled quantum well (CQW) structure have been theoretically investigated by solving the Schrödinger equation in real space. The effect of well width on the exciton states has been also studied by varying the well width from 5?nm to 10?nm in asymmetric structures. The electron, hole and exciton states are calculated in the presence of an applied electric field. It is found that there are two direct (bright) exciton states with the largest oscillator strengths. Their energies weakly depend on the electric field due to the compensation between the blue shift and red shift of the electron–hole pair states. In addition, these two states are overlap in the case of symmetric CQWs and one of them is then shifted to higher energy in asymmetric CQWs. The ground state exciton has the binding energy of approximately 7.3?meV and decrease to around 3.0?meV showing the direct to indirect transition of the ground state. The direct–indirect crossover is observed at different electric field for different structure. It happens at the electric field when the e1–e2 electron anticrossing or h1–h2 hole anticrossings is observed, so that the crossover can be controlled by the well width of CQWs structure.

Series Solution for Localization and Entanglement of an Exciton in a Quantum Dot Molecule by an ac Electric Field

The Schrödinger equation involving the phenomenon of the localization and entanglement for an exciton in a quantum dot molecule by an ac electric field is analytically investigated. New exact series solutions for the Schrödinger equation have been obtained for the first time. The analytical expressions can further describe the dynamical behaviors of an interacting electron-hole pair in a double coupled quantum dot molecule under an ac electric field accurately.     

Combined effects of electric field and hydrostatic pressure on electron states in asymmetric GaAs/(Ga,Al) triple quantum dots

The combined effects of an in-growth direction applied electric field and hydrostatic pressure on the exciton binding energy and photoluminescence energy transitions are reported in this work for triple vertically coupled quantum dots. The calculations have been carried out within the effective mass approximation, and using a variational procedure. The results show that the exciton binding energy and the photoluminescence energy transitions are functions of external probes like the hydrostatic pressure and the applied electric field.     

High accuracy many-body calculational approaches for excitations in molecules

Two state-of-the-art computational approaches: quantum Monte Carlo and GW with exciton effects [GW-BSE (Bethe-Salpeter equation)] are employed to calculate ionization potentials, electron affinities, and first excited singlet and triplet energies for the silane and methane molecules. Results are in excellent agreement between these dramatically different approaches and with available experiment. The optically forbidden triplet excitation in silane is predicted to lie roughly 1 eV higher than previously reported. In the GW-BSE method, we demonstrate that inclusion of off-diagonal matrix elements in the self-energy operator is crucial for an accurate picture.     

Hypochromism and optical rotation in helical polymers

We show that the decreased light absorption and the anomalous optical rotatory dispersion in helical polynucleotides and polypeptides may be interpreted purely as a local field effect. The electric field of the incident light wave is screened off from each residue by the induced electric dipoles in the others. Quantum-mechanical calculations based on time-dependent Hartree theory and this local field picture correspond precisely with the formulae derived in Tinoco's, Rhodes's, and Moffitt's exciton theories, provided that the Coulomb interactions are small. The degenerate exciton waves in our theory correspond to normal modes of a set of coupled oscillators, and the rotational strengths and oscillator strengths are conserved. There is no conflict between Tinoco's theory of hypochromism and the ones proposed by Bolton and Weiss and by Nesbet. One new conclusion is that the energy shifts accompanying hypochromism should not vary much when the exciton coupling changes from the strong to the weak coupling limits.
