The interplay of electron-photon and cavity-environment coupling on the electron transport through a quantum dot system

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the characteristics of the electron transport through a two-dimensionala quantum dot system in the $xy$-plane coupled to a photon cavity and a photon reservoir, the environment. The electron-photon coupling, $g_{\gamma }$, and the cavity-reservoir coupling, $\kappa$, are tuned to study the system in the weak, $g_{\gamma }\le \kappa$, and the strong coupling regime, $g_{\gamma }>\kappa$. An enhancement of current is both seen with increasing $g_{\gamma }$ and $\kappa$ in the weak coupling regime for both $x$- and $y$-polarization of the photon field. This is a direct consequence of the Purcell effect. The current enhancement is due to the contribution of the photon replica states to the electron transport in which intraband transitions play an important role. The properties of the electron transport are drastically changed in the strong coupling regime with an $x$-polarized photon field in which the current is suppressed with increasing $g_{\gamma }$, but it is still increasing with $\kappa$. This behavior of the current is related to the population of purely electronic states and depopulation of photon replica states.
