Electron-phonon interaction and charge carrier mass enhancement in SrTiO3

Claudio Grimaldi, Dirk Van der Marel

We report a comprehensive THz, infrared and optical study of Nb-doped SrTiO3 as well as dc conductivity and Hall effect measurements. Our THz spectra at 7 K show the presence of an unusually narrow (< 2 meV) Drude peak. For all carrier concentrations the D ...

Exciton correlations within an electron gas

Jean Berney

I report on the effect of a moderate excess electron population on nonlinearities in modulation-doped CdTe quantum wells. I show that the electron population does not qualitatively affect the nature of correlations between excitons. In this respect, I brin ...

Radiative lifetime in wurtzite GaN/AIN quantum dots

Nicolas Grandjean

We study wurtzite GaN/AIN quantum dots (QDs) by time-resolved photoluminescence. The properties of nitride based nano-objects are significantly affected by strong built-in electric fields existing in this crystalline phase. These fields induce a spatial se ...

Evolution of open many-electron systems

Aric Gliesche

Starting from the quantum statistical master equation derived in [1] we show how the connection to the semi-classical Boltzmann equation (SCBE) can be established and how irreversibility is related to the problem of separability of quantum mechanics. Our p ...

Dynamics and coherent effects on high density plasmas in semiconductor nanostructures

Lars Kappei

This thesis work contains an experimental study of many-body and cooperative effects in quantum wells. Many-body effects prove important for an understanding of the physical and specifically optical properties of semiconductors. The Coulomb interaction bet ...

Theory of Polaron States in Pyramidal GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Dots

Danail Obreschkow

In this thesis we address the subject of strong electron-phonon coupling in pyramidal quantum dots and pursue detailed physical, analytical and numerical investigations. The strong coupling polaron states in a pyramidal GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot are computed ...

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopic properties of quasi-one-dimensional crystals

Slobodan Mitrovic

Abstract Electronic properties of low-dimensional systems — and particularly quasi-one-dimensional systems — together with related correlated electron phenomena have for quite some time been at the very frontier of condensed matter physics. The interest ra ...

Two-dimensional electron gas at noble-metal surfaces

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune

The electrons of the surface states on the (I 11) surfaces of the noble metals An, Ag, and Cu form a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) free electron gas which is confined to the first few atomic layers at the crystal surface. They are scattered by the potential a ...

Quantum coherence and lifetimes of surface-state electrons

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune

We discuss a novel approach to measure the electron phase-relaxation length and femtosecond lifetimes at surfaces. It relies on the study of the spatial decay of quantum interference patterns in the local density of states (LDOS) with the STM. The method h ...

Coherence versus Coulomb scattering in resonantly excited quantum wells

Vincenzo Savona, Paolo Schwendimann, Cristiano Ciuti

The role of Coulomb scattering is studied in the coherent transients of strongly driven exciton resonances in semiconductor quantum wells. Coulomb scattering is treated within the second Born approximation and the light-induced dressing of the electron-hol ...
