Coherent spectroscopy of a strongly driven triple quantum dot molecule

Based on a calculation model,we study the interference phenomena of serially coupled V-type and Λ-type triple quantum dots (CTQDs) driven simultaneously by a strong driving field and a weak probe field.Strongly depending on the configuration of the three-level CTQD,the probe absorption spectra,which are shown in the tunneling current,exhibit various quantum coherence properties.In the case where the two pairs of transitions of the CTQD have a small eigenfrequency difference △ω,the double-coupling effect of the driving field results in two Autler-Townes doublets and one weak Mollow triplet in one spectrum.With the value of △ω increasing,only one Autler-Townes splitting remains due to the single-coupling of the field.We also find that the effect of spontaneous emission of phonons may lead to an obvious background current,which can be used to distinguish which transition is driven by the driving field in experiment.The interesting quantum property of a CTQD revealed in our results suggests its potential applications in quantum modulators and quantum logic devices.     

单向压力对碳纳米管(6, 6)晶体电子结构的影响

通过第一性原理计算研究了垂直于碳纳米管轴向的单向压力对碳纳米管(6,6)晶体电子结构特性的影响.计算研究发现：由碳纳米管(6,6)组成的四方结构晶体(t相)具有金属特性,电子可以沿碳纳米管管壁运动;在单向压力作用下,t相发生结构相变形成非成键相,随着压力的进一步增大,碳纳米管间产生键合,形成了成键相;单向压力对碳纳米管(6,6)晶体的能带结构影响主要表现在π能带和π^*能带,伴随着单向压力的增加,碳纳米管晶体的电学性质经历从金属到半导体再到活泼金属的转变;非成键相的电子被局域在碳纳米管附近使晶体具有半导体特性,而成键相的电子不仅可以沿着碳纳米管管壁运动,还可以在碳纳米管之间(即成键方向)运动,从而使成健相晶体具有活泼的金属特性. 关键词： 碳纳米管晶体 第一性原理计算 金属—半导体转变
