Phonon-assisted transport and hole-phonon coupling in GaAs double quantum dots

Abstract

Hole-phonon interactions play an important role in transport and decoherence processes in semiconductor quantum dots. Here we investigate hole-phonon coupling in a gate-defined GaAs double quantum dot integrated with a quantum point contact charge sensor. Under finite source-drain bias, pronounced oscillatory stripe patterns appear near specific charge transition regions in the charge stability diagram. We attribute these oscillations to phonon emission during inelastic interdot tunneling. A theoretical model including piezoelectric hole-phonon coupling reproduces the observed patterns. Furthermore, our analysis shows that the oscillations emerge only in particular charge configurations. Our results provide direct insight into phonon-assisted transport and coherent hole-phonon interactions in semiconductor quantum dots.
