This is the report of the subgroup QCD of Working Group-4 at WHEPP-9. We present the activities that had taken place in the subgroup and report some of the partial results arrived at following the discussion at the working group meetings.     

Some aspects of gravitational quantum mechanics

String theory, quantum geometry, loop quantum gravity and black hole physics all indicate the existence of a minimal observable length on the order of Planck length. This feature leads to a modification of Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Such a modified Heisenberg uncertainty principle is referred as gravitational uncertainty principle(GUP) in literatures. This proposal has some novel implications on various domains of theoretical physics. Here, we study some consequences of GUP in the spirit of Quantum mechanics. We consider two problem: a particle in an one-dimensional box and free particle wave function. In each case we will solve corresponding perturbational equations and compare the results with ordinary solutions.     

Field propagation phenomena in ultra high field NMR: a Maxwell-Bloch formulation

The principal advantage of NMR at high field is the concomitant increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This can be traded for improved spatial resolution and combined with parallel imaging to achieve higher temporal resolution. At high field strength, the RF-wavelength and the dimension of the human body complicate the development of NMR coils. For example, at 7 T, the wavelength in free space corresponds to about 1m. The dielectric constant in tissue with a high water content can be as high as 70 and at a larmor frequency of 300 MHz, this corresponds to a wavelength inside tissue of less than 15 cm. The operating wavelength is thus comparable to the diameter of most body parts. To this end, both temporal and spatial variations of the excitation field must be taken into account in addition to the expected increase in conductivity. For all these reasons, we find the propagation of radiation at ultra high fields (>4 T) new phenomena commonly observed in quantum optics but traditionally negligible in NMR such as phase modulation of the excitation field such that the identity between pulse area and flip angle is no longer valid. In this paper, the emergence of field propagation phenomena in NMR experiments is analytically and numerically demonstrated. It is shown that in addition to the well-studied dielectric resonance phenomena at high magnetic fields (>4 T), field propagation effects transform the excitation pulse into an adiabatic excitation. The high field strength also mean that nonlinear effects such as self-induced transparency are now possible in NMR experiments.     

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence of vertically stacked self-assembled CdSe quantum dots in ZnSe

We studied the optical properties of multiple layers of self-assembled CdSe quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnSe, grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The ZnSe barrier thicknesses separating the QD layers ranged from 30 to 60 monolayers (ML). For stacks with thinnest ZnSe barriers photoluminescence (PL) measurements reveal blue shifts as large as 180 meV relative to PL observed for single QD layers. The amount of blue shift decreases with increasing barrier thickness, and for the 60 ML spacer the PL energy returns to that emitted by a single layer of QDs. Temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the emission spectra reveals that the activation energy for PL quenching is largest for barrier thicknesses of 30 and 45 ML. We tentatively attribute these effects to a decrease in the size of the vertically stacked QDs when the thickness of the barrier layers is small.     

Landau levels in a novel two-dimensional electron system interacting with charged quantum dots

Landau levels have been theoretically investigated in a two-dimensional electron gas near a quantum dot (QD) layer. By a diagrammatical method, we have formulated the self-energy for the Landau level and deduced its relation to the AC conductivity σ_loc(ω) in the QD layer. As an example, we have examined the density of states in the case where σ_loc(ω) is described by Aω^S(S=0.8). It is found that the Landau levels are broadened due to the interaction with the localized electrons in the QDs.     

Determination of electron effective mass from optical transition energy in InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells

Nonparabolic effective mass of conduction subbands in InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells (QWs), lattice-matched to InP, was quantitatively obtained by analyzing interband-optical transition spectra. Thickness of InGaAs well was 5.3, 9.4, and . Thickness of InAlAs barrier was about , and each QW was independent. Excellent agreement was obtained between experimental mass and theoretical mass predicted by Kane's three-level band theory on bulk InGaAs, in a wide energy range of from the bandedge. Method of experimental analysis on a relation between eigen energy and effective mass was described.     

Influence of a lateral electric field on the optical properties of InAs quantum dots

We have performed single dot photoluminescence and time-resolved ensemble photoluminescence measurements on InAs quantum dots embedded in a lateral in-plane p–i–n or n–i–n device, respectively, which makes the application of lateral electric fields, i.e. field direction perpendicular to the growth direction, feasible. Time-resolved measurements show an increase in the radiative lifetime of up to 30% with increasing field. We attribute this to the reduced overlap between the electron and hole wave functions. Single dot spectroscopy revealed a small red-shift of the emission energies of maximum 0.5 meV. This shift can be explained by the quantum confined Stark effect taking into account that the red-shift due to the band-tilting is partly compensated by a decrease in exciton binding energy.     

Impurity effects in the optical absorption of quantum rings

We study the interplay between impurity scattering and Coulomb interaction effects in the absorption spectrum of neutral bound magnetoexcitons confined in quantum-ring structures. Impurity scattering breaks the rotational symmetry of the ring system, introducing characteristic features in the optical emission. Signatures of the optical Aharonov–Bohm effect are still present for weak scattering and strong Coulomb screening. Furthermore, an impurity-induced modulation of the absorption strength is present even for a strong impurity potential and low screening. This behavior is likely responsible of recent experimental observations in quantum-ring structures.     

Effect of inter-miniband tunneling on current resonances due to the formation of stochastic conduction networks in superlattices

We study the effects of inter-miniband electron tunneling and electric field domains on the current–voltage and conductance–voltage curves of biased semiconductor superlattices under the action of a magnetic field that is tilted relative to the plane of the layers. For this geometry, electrons in the superlattice minibands exhibit a unique type of stochastic semiclassical motion. At certain critical values of the electric field within the superlattice layers, the stochastic trajectories change abruptly from fully localized to completely unbounded, and map out an intricate web-like mesh of conduction channels in phase space. Delocalization of the electron paths produces a series of strong resonant peaks in the electron drift velocity versus electric field curves. We use these drift velocity characteristics to make self-consistent drift-diffusion calculations of the current–voltage and differential conductance–voltage curves of the superlattices, which reveal strong resonant features originating from the sudden delocalization of the stochastic single-electron paths. We show that this delocalization has a pronounced effect on the distribution of space charge and electric field domains within the superlattices. Inter-miniband tunneling greatly reduces the amount of space-charge buildup, thus enhancing the domain structure and both the strength and number of the current resonances.
