Overview of project A01
Time-Resolved Non-Equilibrium Spectroscopy on Artificial Atoms and Molecules
The mechanisms and principles that govern the relaxation from non-equilibrium to equilibrium are studied in a solid-state environment. Well-defined quantum states of few, interacting electrons in self-assembled quantum dots are prepared and their relaxation dynamics is studied by time-resolved high-resolution optical and transport spectroscopy. Starting with isolated quantum dots and their coupling to an electron reservoir, the measurements are extended to include more complex geometries such as “quantum dot molecules” and the manipulation of the excited states. This will give us a deeper understanding of the equilibration processes and the interactions involved.
Figure: Combined optical and transport spectroscopy reveals the charging dynamics with single dot resolution.
