Exciton localization-delocalization transition in an extended dendrimer

Vincent Pouthier

Exciton-mediated quantum state transfer between the periphery and the core of an extended dendrimer is investigated numerically. By mapping the dynamics onto that of a linear chain, it is shown that a localization-delocalization transition arises for a critical value of the generation number G(c) ≈ 5. This transition originates in the quantum interferences experienced by the excitonic wave due to the multiple scatterings that arise each time the wave tunnels from one generation to another. These results suggest that only small-size dendrimers could be used for designing an efficient quantum communication protocol.

Stimulated Photon Echoes and Free Polarization Decay in GaAs Multiple Quantum Well Structures: Evidence for Localized and Delocalized Excitons

M. D. Webb, Steven T. Cundiff, Duncan G. Steel

Recent experimental and theoretical work suggests that excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells may be localized by disorder, or delocalized with Bloch-type wavefunctions1. At low temperature, localized excitons are expected to be characterized by spectral diffusion and by long optical coherence times, while delocalized excitons have short coherence times and exhibit spatial mobility2. The short optical coherence time associated with delocalized excitons results in a linear absorption profile that is primarily homogeneously broadened, while the disorder associated with localized excitons leads to an inhomogeneously broadened profile. In this work, we investigate the energy and phase relaxation of HH1 excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs MQW's at low temperature, and provide evidence that, dependent on the exciton density, both localized and delocalized excitons contribute to the nonlinear optical response.
