Nanostructured semiconductors are ideal model systems to investigate the dynamics of the electron-phonon coupling in different confinement potentials.
In this talk, the simultaneous quantum dynamics of electrons and phonons is described within a Liouville space formalism for the time evolution of the statistical operator. This approach allows the self-consistent description of non-markovian dynamics and non-perturbative interaction in ultrafast electron transfer and relaxation mechanisms.
Specific systems investigated are ultrafast electron transfer between bulk and surface states at silicon surfaces, strong electron-phonon interaction for intersubband optics in nitride quantum wells and quantum cascade lasers as well as hot phonon dynamics in graphene.
