Strain and Spin-Orbit Effects in Self-Assembled Quantum Dots

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M Zielinski, W Jaskolski, Javier Aizpurua, Garnett W. Bryant
The effects of strain and spin-orbit interaction in self-assembled lens-shaped InAs/GaAs quantum dots are investigated. Calculations are performed with empirical tight-binding theory supplemented by the valence force field method to account for effects of

Theory of InP Nanocrystals Under Pressure

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
J G. Diaz-Garcia, Garnett W. Bryant, W Jaskolski
An empirical tight-binding theory which includes the effects of lattice relaxation is employed to investigate the opto-electronic properties of InP nanocrystals under an external hydrostatic pressure. For bulk InP, our model describes accurately the

From single-particle-like to interaction-mediated plasmonic resonances in graphene nanoantennas

March 4, 2021
Author(s)
Marvin M. Muller, Miriam Kosik, Marta Pelc, Garnett W. Bryant, Andres Ayuela, Carsten Rockstuhl, Karolina Slowik
Plasmonic nanostructures attract tremendous attention as they confine electromagnetic fields well below the diffraction limit while simultaneously sustaining extreme local field enhancements. To fully exploit these properties, the identification and

Energy-Based Plasmonicity Index to Characterize Optical Resonances in Nanostructures

October 27, 2020
Author(s)
Marvin M. Muller, Miriam Kosik, Marta Pelc, Garnett Bryant, Andres Ayuela, Carsten Rockstuhl, Karolina Slowik
Resonances sustained by plasmonic nanoparticles provide extreme electric field confinement and enhancement into the deep subwavelength domain for a plethora of applications. Recent progress in nanofabrication made it even possible to tailor the properties

Spin-mechanical coupling of an InAs quantum dot embedded in a mechanical resonator

December 14, 2018
Author(s)
S G. Carter, A S. Bracker, Garnett W. Bryant, M Kim, C S. Kim, M Zalalutdinov, M. K. Yakes, C Czarnocki, J Casara, M Scheibner, D Gammon
We demonstrate strain-induced coupling between a hole spin in a quantum dot and mechanical motion of a cantilever. The optical transitions of quantum dots integrated into GaAs mechanical resonators are measured synchronously with the motion of the driven

Spin decoherence in a two-qubit CPHASE gate: the critical role of tunneling noise

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Peihao Huang, Neil M. Zimmerman, Garnett W. Bryant
The rapid progress in the manipulation and detection of semiconductor spin qubits enables the experimental demonstration of a high fidelity two-qubit logic gate, which is necessary for universal quantum computing. Here, we study the decoherence of two

Spin relaxation of a donor electron coupled to interface states

November 16, 2018
Author(s)
Peihao Huang, Garnett W. Bryant
An electron spin qubit in a silicon donor atom is a promising candidate for quantum information processing because of its long coherence time. To be sensed with a single-electron transistor, the donor atom is usually located near an interface, where the

Approaching the quantum limit for plasmonics: linear atomic chains

May 18, 2016
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant
Optical excitations in atomic scale materials can be strongly mixed, having contributions from both single-particle transitions and collective response. This complicates the quantum description of these excitations, because there is no clear way to define

Which resonances in small metallic nanoparticles are plasmonic?

November 3, 2014
Author(s)
Emily Townsend, Garnett W. Bryant
We use time-dependent density functional theory to examine the character of various resonances corresponding to peaks in the optical response of small metallic nanoparticles. Each resonance has both "sloshing" and "inversion" character. The sloshing mode

Strong coupling of single emitters interacting with phononic infrared antennae

January 30, 2014
Author(s)
Ruben Esteban, Javier Aizpurua, Garnett W. Bryant
A single emitter can couple with an electromagnetic mode excited in dielectric cavities or metallic particles. In a similar manner, it can couple with a phononic mode supported by a nearby infrared antenna. We consider an emitter with a sufficiently large

Mechanism for controlling the exciton fine structure in quantum dots using electric fields: Manipulation of exciton orientation and exchange splitting at the atomic scale

October 7, 2013
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant, Natalia Malkova, James S. Sims
We use atomistic tight-binding theory with a configuration interaction description of Coulomb and exchange effects to describe excitons in quantum dots in a vertical electric field. We show that field-induced manipulation of exciton orientation and phase
