合金化InGaAs自组装量子点中的暗-亮激子混合

Dark-bright excitons mixing in alloyed InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots

Michał Zieliński

摘要:

量子点可以说是光学可访问的基于自旋的量子比特的最佳平台之一。扩展量子位存储时间的首要需求可以通过使用量子点限制的暗激子来满足:具有平行自旋的长寿命电子空穴对。尽管它的名字是暗激子,但它的发光很弱,可以直接测量。这种旋光性的起源在很大程度上仍未被探索。在这项工作中,使用原子紧束缚方法结合组态相互作用的方法,我们证明了原子尺度的随机性强烈影响暗激子的振子强度限制在自组装的圆柱形InGaAs量子点,无需刻面或形状伸长。我们表明,这一过程是由两种机制介导的:混合暗和亮的配置交换相互作用,以及同样重要的外观的非零光学过渡矩阵元素,否则对应于名义上禁止过渡在非合金的情况下。合金的随机性对亮激子态和暗激子态的能量、发射强度和偏振角都有重要影响。我们的结论是,由于原子尺度的合金随机性,找到所需的暗激子特性的点可能需要探索一个大的合奏,类似于如何选择低亮激子分裂的点纠缠产生。

英文摘要:

Quantum dots are arguably one of the best platforms for optically accessible spin based qubits. The paramount demand of extended qubit storage time can be met by using quantum-dot-confined dark exciton: a longlived electron-hole pair with parallel spins. Despite its name the dark exciton reveals weak luminescence that can be directly measured. The origins of this optical activity remain largely unexplored. In this work, using the atomistic tight-binding method combined with configuration-interaction approach, we demonstrate that atomic-scale randomness strongly affects oscillator strength of dark excitons confined in self-assembled cylindrical InGaAs quantum dots with no need for faceting or shape-elongation. We show that this process is mediated by two mechanisms: mixing dark and bright configurations by exchange interaction, and equally important appearance of non-vanishing optical transition matrix elements that otherwise correspond to nominally forbidden transitions in a non-alloyed case. The alloy randomness has essential impact on both bright and dark exciton states, including their energy, emission intensity, and polarization angle. We conclude that, due to the atomic-scale alloy randomness, finding dots with desired dark exciton properties may require exploration of a large ensemble, similarly to how dots with low bright exciton splitting are selected for entanglement generation.
