The origin of the dephasing of the S-P intersublevel transitions in semiconductor quantum dots is theoretically investigated.
The coherence time of this transition is shown to be lifetime-limited at low temperature, while at higher temperature pure
dephasing induced by the coupling to acoustic phonons dominates the coherence decay. Population relax...

In this paper, we investigate the time evolution of the quantum mechanical state of a polaron using the Pekar type variational method on the electric-LO-phonon and the magnetic-LO-phonon strong coupling in a quantum dot. We obtain the Eigen energies and the Eigen functions of the ground state and the first excited state, respectively. In a quantum...
Phonon mean free path is generally inferred from the measurement of thermal
conductivity and we are still lacking precise information on this quantity.
Recent advances in the field of high frequency phonons transduction using
semiconductor superlattices give the opportunity to fill this gap. We present
experimental results on the attenuation of lon...
The temperature-dependent mechanical properties of GaAs have been calculated. The phonon frequencies and the acoustic velocity in the directions [001], [110], and [111] of the investigated compound have been determined. The temperature dependence of the studied properties has been investigated. Our results were obtained using the empirical pseudopo...
We present calculations of intersublevel population and phase relaxation in semiconductor quantum dots. Anharmonic polaron decay is shown to be responsible for population relaxation over a large spectral range. Additional pure dephasing processes are caused by acoustic phonons, which cause the appearance of peaked sidebands and induce broadening th...
Recent high pressure x-ray experiments show that, contrary to traditional expectations, the NaCl structure is not present in covalent semiconductors, and the diatomic β-Sn structure is absent in all compound semiconductors. We explain these systematic absences in terms of dynamical phonon instabilities of the NaCl and β-Sn crystal structures. Cov...
