The optical phonon modes and electron–optical-phonon interaction in fan-shaped quantum dot and quantum wire are studied with the dielectric continuum (DC) model and separation of variables. The explicit expressions for the longitudinal optical (LO) and interface optical (IO) phonon eigenmodes are deduced. It is found that there exist two types of IO phonon modes: top interface optical (TIO) phonon mode and arc interface optical (AIO) phonon mode, in a fan-shaped quantum dot. After having quantized the eigenmodes, we derive the Hamiltonian operators describing the LO and IO phonon modes as well as the corresponding Fröhlich electron–phonon interaction. The potential applications of these results are also discussed. 相似文献

We investigate the effects of pre-stress and surface tension on the electron–acoustic phonon scattering rate and the mobility of rectangular silicon nanowires.With the elastic theory and the interaction Hamiltonian for the deformation potential,which considers both the surface energy and the acoustoelastic effects,the phonon dispersion relation for a stressed nanowire under spatial confinement is derived.The subsequent analysis indicates that both surface tension and pre-stress can dramatically change the electron–acoustic phonon interaction.Under a negative(positive)surface tension and a tensile(compressive)pre-stress,the electron mobility is reduced(enhanced)due to the decrease(increase)of the phonon energy as well as the deformation-potential scattering rate.This study suggests an alternative approach based on the strain engineering to tune the speed and the drive current of low-dimensional electronic devices. 相似文献

The problem of electron mobility variance is discussed. It is established that in equilibrium semiconductors the mobility variance is infinite. It is revealed that the cause of the mobility variance infinity is the threshold of phonon emission. The electron–phonon interaction theory in the presence of an electric field is developed. A new mechanism of electron scattering, called electron–phonon field-induced tunnel (FIT) scattering, is observed. The effect of the electron–phonon FIT scattering is explained in terms of penetration of the electron wave function into the semiconductor band gap in the presence of an electric field. New and more general expressions for the electron–non-polar optical phonon scattering probability and relaxation time are obtained. The results show that FIT transitions have principle meaning for the mobility fluctuation theory: mobility variance becomes finite. 相似文献

Counter-rotating-wave terms(CRWTs)are traditionally viewed to be crucial in open small quantum systems with strong system–bath dissipation.Here by exemplifying in a nonequilibrium qubit–phonon hybrid model,we show that CRWTs can play the significant role in quantum heat transfer even with weak system–bath dissipation.By using extended coherent phonon states,we obtain the quantum master equation with heat exchange rates contributed by rotating-waveterms(RWTs)and CRWTs,respectively.We find that including only RWTs,the steady state heat current and current fluctuations will be significantly suppressed at large temperature bias,whereas they are strongly enhanced by considering CRWTs in addition.Furthermore,for the phonon statistics,the average phonon number and two-phonon correlation are nearly insensitive to strong qubit–phonon hybridization with only RWTs,whereas they will be dramatically cooled down via the cooperative transitions based on CRWTs in addition.Therefore,CRWTs in quantum heat transfer system should be treated carefully. 相似文献

The possibility of controlling near-field radiative heat transfer with the use of silicon carbide thin films supporting surface
phonon–polaritons in the infrared spectrum is explored. For this purpose, the local density of electromagnetic states is calculated
and analyzed within the nanometric gap formed between two SiC films as well as the radiative heat flux exchanged between the
thin layers. 相似文献

Efficient design of optoelectronic devices based on electron intersubband transitions depends critically on the knowledge of the intersubband relaxation times which in turn, depends on electron scattering with LO and acoustic phonons. In this article the intersubband scattering time associated with electron–acoustic-phonon interaction has been discussed in terms of phonon mode quantization and phonon confinement with describing the acoustic phonon dispersion relation in detail by introducing the cut-off frequency for each mode. It has been shown that the quantization of acoustic phonon modes lead to an enhancement in electron–phonon scattering time in AlGaAs quantum well structures. Based on the presented model, a new tailoring method has presented to adjust the electron–phonon scattering time in intersubband-transition-based structures while keeping the electronic properties unaltered. Also, we illustrated that for a quantum well with subband energy separation of ∼30 meV, the intersubband scattering time with acoustic-phonon-assisted transitions could be tailored from ∼120 ps to increased value of ∼400 ps or reduced value of ∼45 ps by inserting a 1 nm-thickacoustically soft or hard layers, respectively, while keeping the same the initial energy separation. 相似文献

Broadband transient reflectivity traces were measured for Bi_2 Se_3 thin films with various substrates via a 400 nm pump–white-light-probe setup. We have verified the existence of a second Dirac surface state in Bi_2 Se_3 and qualitatively located it by properly analyzing the traces acquired at different probe wavelengths. Referring to the band structure of Bi_2 Se_3, the relaxation mechanisms for photo-excited electrons with different energies are also revealed and studied. Our results show a second rise of the transient reflection signal at the time scale of several picoseconds. The types of substrate can also significantly affect the dynamics of the rising signal. This phenomenon is attributed to the effect of lattice heating and coherent phonon processes. The mechanism study in this work will benefit the fabrication of high-performance photonic devices based on topological insulators. 相似文献

We present analysis of the experiments on excitation of bismuth by ultrafast laser pulses and compare with heating bismuth in equilibrium conditions. The analysis shows that the electron–phonon relaxation time is a strong function of the lattice temperature. We developed a kinetic theory, which predicts well the experimental results. We demonstrate that lattice heating and re-structuring with the temperature-dependent energy exchange rates occurs much faster than what follows from the two-temperature model with constant relaxation factor. The analytic formulae corrected by equilibrium and non-equilibrium data allowed the interpretation of various experiments without controversy. We demonstrate that all observed ultrafast transformation of bismuth are purely thermal in nature, thus excluding the conjectures about non-thermal melting. 相似文献

Temperature-dependent Raman investigations of titanium in the α and pressure-quenched ω-phase have been carried out. The results obtained suggest the possible coexistence of both phases at ambient pressure and low temperatures. Comparison of the low-temperature E2g phonon self-energies in both phases with simulations based on the calculated electronic structures for α- and ω-Ti implies significant contributions from non-adiabatic electron–phonon interactions. 相似文献

We demonstrate the spin interactions between dispersedly trapped electrons and holes in a semiconductor using the double electron–electron resonance (DEER) method of the pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. An aluminum-doped titanium dioxide crystal is adopted as a spin system, in which optically generated electrons and holes are trapped, to reveal EPR signals that appear close to each other at a selected crystal orientation under an external magnetic field. We used the four-pulse DEER method by applying two microwave frequencies to a microwave cavity for pumping electrons and probing holes at the optimum temperature of 32 K. The dipolar modulation in the probed signal by pumping interacting spins was successfully detected. The observed non-oscillating decay shape indicates that the detected interaction is caused by widely distributed trapped electron and hole spins over long distances. We were able to extract a spin-pair distribution function by the first derivative of a background-corrected curve, referring to a previously reported method. 相似文献

The kink structure in the quasiparticle spectrum of electrons in graphene observed at 200 me V below the Fermi level by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)was claimed to be caused by a tight-binding electron–phonon(e–ph)coupling in the previous theoretical studies.However,we numerically find that the e–ph coupling effect in this approach is too weak to account for the ARPES data.The former agreement between this approach and the ARPES data is due to an enlargement of the coupling constant by almost four times. 相似文献

Based on the statistical dynamic mean-field theory, we investigate, in a generic model for a strongly coupled disordered electron–phonon system, the competition between polaron formation and Anderson localization. The statistical dynamic mean-field approximation maps the lattice problem to an ensemble of self-consistently embedded impurity problems. It is a probabilistic approach, focusing on the distribution instead of the average values for observables of interest. We solve the self-consistent equations of the theory with a Monte Carlo sampling technique, representing distributions for random variables by random samples, and discuss various ways to determine mobility edges from the random sample for the local Green function. Specifically, we give, as a function of the ‘polaron parameters’, such as adiabaticity and electron–phonon coupling constants, a detailed discussion of the localization properties of a single polaron, using a bare electron as a reference system. 相似文献

By measuring phonon strain introduced in crystal approximants, the sign and magnitude of the phonon–phason coupling constant have been evaluated for icosahedral quasicrystals of Mg–Ga–Al–Zn and Al–Cu–Fe systems. The evaluated coupling constants are approximately ?0.04μ and 0.004μ (μ?=?shear modulus) for the former and the latter, respectively. They are in good agreement with the results of a previously reported theoretical calculation. Possible effects of phonon–phason coupling on the onset of phasonic elastic instability in icosahedral quasicrystals are discussed. 相似文献
