Characterization of Disorder in Semiconductors via Single-Photon Interferometry

The method of angular photonic correlations of spontaneous emission is introduced as an experimental, purely optical scheme to characterize disorder in semiconductor nanostructures. The theoretical expression for the angular correlations is derived and numerically evaluated for a model system. The results demonstrate how the proposed experimental method yields direct information about the spatial distribution of the relevant states and thus on the disorder present in the system.

Dynamics of Coulomb-correlated electron-hole pairs in disordered semiconductor nanowires

The dynamics of optically generated electron-hole pairs is investigated in a disordered semiconductor nanowire. The particle pairs are generated by short laser pulses and their dynamics is followed using the Heisenberg equation of motion. Is is shown that Coulomb-correlation acts against localization in the case of the two-interacting particles (TIP) problem. Furthermore, currents are generated using a coherent combination of full-gap and half-gap pulses. The subsequent application of a full-gap pulse after time $τ$ produces an intraband echo phenomenon $2τ$ time later. The echo current is shown to depend on the mass ratio between the electrons and the holes.

Propagation of Coulomb-correlated electron-hole pairs in semiconductors with correlated and anticorrelated disorder

Local ultrafast optical excitation of electron-hole pairs in disordered semiconductors provides the possibility to observe experimentally interaction-assisted propagation of correlated quantum particles in a disordered environment. In addition to the interaction driven delocalization known for the conventional single-band TIP-(two-interacting-particles)-problem the semiconductor model has a richer variety of physical parameters that give rise to new features in the temporal dynamics. These include different masses, correlated vs. anticorrelated disorder for the two particles, and dependence on spectral position of excitation pulse.
