Reduced electron relaxation rate in multi-electron quantum dots
arXiv:cond-mat/0506743 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.066806
Abstract
We use a configuration-interaction approach and Fermi golden rule to investigate electron-phonon interaction in realistic multi-electron quantum dots. Lifetimes are computed in the low-density, highly correlated regime. We report numerical evidence that electron-electron interaction generally leads to reduced decay rates of excited electronic states in weakly confined quantum dots, where carrier relaxation is dominated by the interaction with longitudinal acoustic phonons.
