Electron-phonon dynamics in an ensemble of nearly isolated nanoparticles

Abstract: We investigate the electron population dynamics in an ensemble of nearly isolated insulating nanoparticles, each nanoparticle modeled as an electronic two-level system coupled to a single vibrational mode. We find that at short times the ensemble-averaged excited-state population oscillates but has a decaying envelope. At long times, the oscillations become purely sinusoidal about a ''plateau'' population, with a frequency determined by the electron-phonon interaction strength and with an envelope that decays … Show more

“…The electronic structure of the RE ions is dominated by electron-electron and spin-orbit interaction within the 4f shell. The effect of the reduced dimensionality on the electronic relaxation and the phonon density of states of semiconductor and insulating nanocrystals has been extensively investigated using both a theoretical and an experimental approach [11,12]. As a consequence, the spontaneous emission probability of optical transitions (luminescence lifetime) from RE ionsdoped nanoparticles may be significantly different from their bulk counterparts.…”

“…Therefore, excitonic transition in the host material and an improvement in the luminescence intensity is also expected for the semiconductor nanostructures after the rare earths (RE) doping. The effects of the reduced dimensionality on the electronic relaxation and the phonon density-of-states of semiconductor compounds and insulating nanocrystals have been extensively investigated by both theoretical and experimental approaches [7,8]. Doping of II-VI semiconductors compounds with rare earths ions like cerium, terbium and europium, etc., has recently been extensively studied [9].…”
