Theory of impurity excitation transfer via a phonon field

Abstract

Abstract Processes of impurity excitation energy transfer are studied by the method of quantum correlation functions. The probabilities of the process are calculated. The probability dependence on the spacing of the interacting centres is determined. The contribution of the process to the guest centre spectral line width is investigated.

Time-dependent Light Absorption by Impurity Centres

Boris P. Antonyuk, S.F. Musichenko, Peter Bussemer

Light absorption by impurity centres with generation of charge-transfer excitons is considered. The static electric field produced by already existing excitons shifts the excitation energy of non-excited centres and, hence, the probability of their excitation. This dependence of the absorption cross-section of a centre on the spatial distribution of excitons results in the nonlinear behaviour of the system under strong pumping. Computer simulation of exciton generation and annihilation shows that stationary powerful light transmitted through a sample has a time dependent power.

Study of time-dependent spectral transfer in disordered systems

S. K. Lyo

We study the time development of spectral profile of an inhomogeneously broadened system of a low concentration of optically active random two-level impurity ions excited with a narrow-band laser pulse. The spectral transport is due to phonon-assisted spatial migration of optical excitations among the impurity ions. The basic two-site transfer rate is assumed to be site symmetric and independent of the energy levels of the initial and final sites when the thermal energy is much larger than the inhomogeneous width. A "direct transfer" model relevant to some current works is solved exactly for dipolar interaction at a low-impurity concentration. In this model transitions are allowed only between the initial site of excitation and rest of the ions. The result agrees well with a previous "exact" Monte Carlo calculation for a short time. The result is improved systematically for longer times by using a pair model, a 3-site model, and a 4-site model. In the first two models, energy transfer is allowed along one and two nearest-neighbor percolation bonds, respectively, starting from the initial site of excitation. In a 4-site model additional transfer is included between the initial ion and its second neighbor. Transitions to the background ions without back transfer are allowed in all cases. Finally, the theoretical results are compared with recent experimental data.

Application of Redfield theory to optical dephasing and line shape of electronic transitions in molecular mixed crystals

Philippus de Bree, Douwe A. Wiersma

Redfield relaxation theory is used to study optical dephasing in molecular mixed crystals where pseudolocalized phonons play a dominant role. As a model an effective four-level system is defined which consists of the ground and excited electronic state of the guest impurity and one pseudolocalized phonon in each of these states. It is shown that coherence transfer between the purely electronic and the phonon-promoted transition is due to interference between the scattering amplitudes in the ground and excited state and only occurs when the transitions are near resonant. When the scattering amplitudes in the ground and excited state are identical the optical Redfield equations reduce to the modified Bloch equations and coherence transfer may appreciably contribute to optical dephasing. It further proves essential for coherence exchange to occur that next to electron–phonon coupling the phonon anharmonicity is taken into account. The stochastic and correlation function theories of line shape, using the same model system, have also been examined and we conclude that in these theories exchange of coherence is not properly taken into account. Next to the effect of pseudolocalized phonons the effect of band phonons on optical dephasing is also examined and within our model both effects are additive.

Interaction of Crystal Impurity Centres with a Coherent Electromagnetic Field

Pavel A Apanasevich, Vladimir I. Kruglov, Igor E. Tralle

Abstract By the projection operator technique the non‐Markovian kinetic equation for the density matrix of a crystal impurity centre in an external electromagnetic field is derived, taking into account the electron–phonon interaction. The analytical solutions of this equation are obtained for the external field as an ultrashort pulse and in the case of a monochromatic wave.

Interaction of impurity atoms in Bose-Einstein condensates

Alexander Klein, Michael Fleischhauer

The interaction of two spatially separated impurity atoms through phonon exchange in a Bose-Einstein condensate is studied within a Bogoliubov approach. The impurity atoms are held by deep and narrow trap potentials and experience level shifts which consist of a mean-field part and vacuum contributions from the Bogoliubov phonons. In addition, there is a conditional energy shift resulting from the exchange of phonons between the impurity atoms, which can be employed for a transfer of quantum information between the atoms.

STRONG COUPLING DIAGRAMMATIC APPROACH TO THE ANDERSON-HOLSTEIN HAMILTONIAN

V. A. Moskalenko, Leonid Alekseevich Dohotaru, D. F. Digor +1 more

We develop a strong-coupling approach to investigate the Anderson-Holstein model with strong repulsion on impurity centers. We derive the relation between electron propagators and correlation functions and prove that for the impurity electrons the latter is identical to the mass operator of the conduction electrons. Strong electron-phonon interaction determines formation of polarons with heavy clouds of phonons surrounding impurity electrons. We demonstrate the existence of a collective excitation mode of these clouds and obtain the dependence of its energy on the hybridization of the impurity with band states. Hybridization is shown to cause softening of the collective mode and its total suppression at sufficiently large values of the hybridization parameter.
