Energy-dependent tunneling from few-electron dynamic quantum dots

We measure the electron escape rate from surface-acoustic-wave dynamic quantum dots (QDs) through a tunnel barrier. Rate equations are used to extract the tunneling rates, which change by an order of magnitude with tunnel-barrier-gate voltage. We find that the tunneling rates depend on the number of electrons in each dynamic QD because of Coulomb energy. By comparing this dependence to a saddle-point-potential model, the addition energies of the second and third electron in each dynamic QD are estimated. The scale ( approximately a few meV) is comparable to those in static QDs as expected.     

Tunneling spectroscopy of a two-dimensionally periodic electron system

The tunneling current between an electron gas with a periodic potential in two dimensions and a plain two-dimensional electron system (2DES) has been studied. The strength of the periodic potential, the subband energy of the plain 2DES, and an applied in-plane magnetic field were varied, mapping the Fourier transform of the periodic wave function. Periodic peaks were observed and explained by translations in the reciprocal lattice. When the potential was strongly modulated to form an array of antidots, commensurability peaks were seen in lateral transport, but, as expected, not in tunneling.     

Using a DS-DBR laser for widely tunable near-infrared cavity ring-down spectroscopy

Studies into the suitability of a novel, widely tunable telecom L-band (1,563–1,613 nm) digital supermode distributed Bragg reflector (DS-DBR) laser for cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) are presented. The spectrometer comprised of a 36.6?cm long linear cavity with ring-down times varying between 19–26 μs across the 50 nm DS-DBR wavelength range due to changes in the cavity mirror reflectivities with wavelength. The potential of such a broadband, high-resolution CRD spectrometer was illustrated by investigating several transitions of CO₂ in air, a 5 % calibrated mixture and breath samples. Allan variance measurements at a single wavelength indicated an optimal minimum detectable absorption coefficient (α _min) of 3 × 10^?10 cm^?1 over 20 s.     

Multi-mode absorption spectroscopy, MUMAS, using wavelength modulation and cavity enhancement techniques

Multi-mode absorption spectroscopy, MUMAS, has been combined with the techniques of wavelength modulation spectroscopy, WMS, and cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy, CEAS, to record multiple molecular transitions using a single laser and a single detector. MUMAS signals were recorded using a multi-mode diode laser of the A-band $b^{1}\varSigma _{g}^{+}\leftarrow X^{3}\varSigma _{g}^{-}Multi-mode absorption spectroscopy, MUMAS, has been combined with the techniques of wavelength modulation spectroscopy, WMS, and cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy, CEAS, to record multiple molecular transitions using a single laser and a single detector. MUMAS signals were recorded using a multi-mode diode laser of the A-band b¹\varSigma _g⁺? X³\varSigma _g^-b^{1}\varSigma _{g}^{+}\leftarrow X^{3}\varSigma _{g}^{-} of molecular oxygen at 760 nm. Direct MUMAS and WMS-MUMAS signals were recorded using a White cell for air and pure oxygen for pressures in the range 0 to 1 bar. CEAS-MUMAS signals were recorded with and without WMS in an open enhancement cavity containing laboratory air. Enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio has been obtained demonstrating the potential for increased detection sensitivity for gas-sensing applications of MUMAS.

Conformer specific dissociation dynamics of iodocyclohexane studied by velocity map imaging

The photodissociation dynamics of iodocyclohexane has been studied using velocity map imaging following excitation at many wavelengths within its A-band (230 ≤ λ ≤ 305 nm). This molecule exists in two conformations (axial and equatorial), and one aim of the present experiment was to explore the extent to which conformer-specific fragmentation dynamics could be distinguished. Ground (I) and spin-orbit excited (I?) state iodine atom products were monitored by 2 + 1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization, and total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra and angular distributions derived from analysis of images recorded at all wavelengths studied. TKER spectra obtained at the longer excitation wavelengths show two distinct components, which can be attributed to the two conformers and the different ways in which these partition the excess energy upon C-I bond fission. Companion calculations based on a simple impulsive model suggest that dissociation of the equatorial (axial) conformer preferentially yields vibrationally (rotationally) excited cyclohexyl co-fragments. Both I and I? products are detected at the longest parent absorption wavelength (λ ～ 305 nm), and both sets of products show recoil anisotropy parameters, β > 1, implying prompt dissociation following excitation via a transition whose dipole moment is aligned parallel to the C-I bond. The quantum yield for forming I? products, Φ(I?), has been determined by time resolved infrared diode laser absorption methods to be 0.14 ± 0.02 (at λ = 248 nm) and 0.22 ± 0.05 (at λ = 266 nm). Electronic structure calculations indicate that the bulk of the A-band absorption is associated with transition to the 4A(') state, and that the (majority) I atom products arise via non-adiabatic transfer from the 4A(') potential energy surface (PES) via conical intersection(s) with one or more PESs correlating with ground state products.

Origin of the oscillator strength of the triplet state of a trion in a magnetic field

The dynamics of the spin-triplet trion state, under high magnetic field in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well, are studied using time resolved spectroscopy. The oscillator strength of the triplet transition is shown to rise with increasing electron density, in good agreement with a theoretical model where the trion interacts with excess electrons in the quantum well. This analysis suggests that the spin-triplet trion state, which is expected to be an optically "dark" state, is experimentally observable due to the interactions with the excess electrons, demonstrating that X- cannot be regarded as an isolated three particle complex.
