Evidence of nonadiabatic exciton-phonon interaction probed by second-order LO-phonon replicas of single quantum dots

In this experimental study of single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) the photoluminescence intensity of the second order LO-phonon replica of the excitonic interband recombination was measured along with the intensities of the first and zeroth orders. The results show that the intensity of the second...

Description
Summary:In this experimental study of single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) the photoluminescence intensity of the second order LO-phonon replica of the excitonic interband recombination was measured along with the intensities of the first and zeroth orders. The results show that the intensity of the second-order replica is three to four times stronger than expected from the adiabatic Huang-Rhys theory, indicating that the neglected nonadiabaticity plays an important role for the understanding of the exciton-phonon coupling in QDs. === <p>Funding Agencies|Science Foundation Ireland|05/IN.1/I2510/IN.1/I3000|Swedish Research Council (VR)||K.
