We investigate the charging dynamics in epitaxially grown InAs quantum dots under resonant excitation with and without additional low-power above-band excitation. Time-resolved resonance fluorescence from a charged exciton (trion) transition is recorded as the above-band excitation is modulated on and off. The fluorescence intensity varies as the QD changes from charged to neutral and back due to the influence of the above-band excitation. We fit the transients of the time-resolved resonance fluorescence with models that represent the charging and neutralization processes. The time dependence of the transients indicate that Auger recombination of resonantly excited trions is largely responsible for neutralization of the charged state when the above-band excitation is off. The addition of above-band excitation revives the resonance fluorescence signal from the trion transition. We conclude that the above-band laser excites charges that relax into the bound state of the quantum dot via two different charge transport processes. The captured charges return the QD to its initial charge state and allow resonant excitation of the trion transition. The time dependence of one charge transport process is consistent with ballistic transport of charge carriers excited non-local to the QD via above-band excitation. We attribute the second charge transport process to carrier migration through a stochastic collection of weakly-binding sites, resulting in sub-diffusion-like dynamics.

We present a comprehensive study of the optical transitions and selection rules of variably charged single self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots. We apply high resolution polarization sensitive photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy to the same qu
antum dot for three different charge states: neutral and negatively or positively charged by one additional electron or hole. From the detailed analysis of the excitation spectra, a full understanding of the single-carrier energy levels and the interactions between carriers in these levels is extracted for the first time.
The optical spectroscopy of a single InAs quantum dot doped with a single Mn atom is studied using a model Hamiltonian that includes the exchange interactions between the spins of the quantum dot electron-hole pair, the Mn atom and the acceptor hole.
Our model permits to link the photoluminescence spectra to the Mn spin states after photon emission. We focus on the relation between the charge state of the Mn, $A^0$ or $A^-$, and the different spectra which result through either band-to-band or band-to-acceptor transitions. We consider both neutral and negatively charged dots. Our model is able to account for recent experimental results on single Mn doped InAs PL spectra and can be used to account for future experiments in GaAs quantum dots. Similarities and differences with the case of single Mn doped CdTe quantum dots are discussed.
The coherent spin dynamics of resident carriers, electrons and holes, in semiconductor quantum structures is studied by periodical optical excitation using short laser pulses and in an external magnetic field. The generation and dephasing of spin pol
arization in an ensemble of carrier spins, for which the relaxation time of individual spins exceeds the repetition period of the laser pulses, are analyzed theoretically. Spin polarization accumulation is manifested either as resonant spin amplification or as mode-locking of carrier spin coherences. It is shown that both regimes have the same origin, while their appearance is determined by the optical pump power and the spread of spin precession frequencies in the ensemble.
Graphene p-n junctions provide an ideal platform for investigating novel behavior at the boundary between electronics and optics that arise from massless Dirac fermions, such as whispering gallery modes and Veselago lensing. Bilayer graphene also hos
ts Dirac fermions, but they differ from single-layer graphene charge carriers because they are massive, can be gapped by an applied perpendicular electric field, and have very different pseudospin selection rules across a p-n junction. Novel phenomena predicted for these massive Dirac fermions at p-n junctions include anti-Klein tunneling, oscillatory Zener tunneling, and electron cloaked states. Despite these predictions there has been little experimental focus on the microscopic spatial behavior of massive Dirac fermions in the presence of p-n junctions. Here we report the experimental manipulation and characterization of massive Dirac fermions within bilayer graphene quantum dots defined by circular p-n junctions through the use of scanning tunneling microscopy-based (STM) methods. Our p-n junctions are created via a flexible technique that enables realization of exposed quantum dots in bilayer graphene/hBN heterostructures. These quantum dots exhibit sharp spectroscopic resonances that disperse in energy as a function of applied gate voltage. Spatial maps of these features show prominent concentric rings with diameters that can be tuned by an electrostatic gate. This behavior is explained by single-electron charging of localized states that arise from the quantum confinement of massive Dirac fermions within our exposed bilayer graphene quantum dots.
We demonstrate the real-time detection of single photogenerated electrons in two different lateral double quantum dots made in AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells having a thin or a thick AlGaAs barrier layer. The observed incident laser power and photo
n energy dependences of the photoelectron detection efficiency both indicate that the trapped photoelectrons are, for the thin barrier sample, predominantly photogenerated in the buffer layer followed by tunneling into one of the two dots, whereas for the thick barrier sample they are directly photogenerated in the well. For the latter, single photoelectron detection after selective excitation of the heavy and light hole state in the dot is well resolved. This ensures the applicability of our quantum well-based quantum dot systems for the coherent transfer from single photon polarization to single electron spin states.
