Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The project aimed to study and control electron-phonon-magnon interactions in matter at the nanoscale dimension. Static (3D) phonon confinement in nanostructures provides an exciting possibility to control electron-phonon interaction (and hence the optical response of matter) by manipulating the phonon density of states. Implemented in a nanoscale system with proper material boundary conditions, we study how phonon confinement affects exciton emission in single colloidal quantum dots. In nano-films and nanoribbons, 1D and 2D confinement of phonons still allow for strain-wave propagation in an unconfined dimension. Thus, ferromagnetic nanofilms provide an excellent ground for studying enhanced magnon-phonon coupling, leading to the possibilities of spin data manipulation using strain gates. Such dynamics can be revealed with experimental techniques such as time-resolved spectroscopies. Coupling of magnetic and phononic degrees of freedom can leads to magnetoelastic wave formation, of interest for tasks of transporting spin information. Such excitations are impulsive, thus preserving the original coherence of the excitation mechanism, yielding possibilities of coherent control. Finally, and coming back to electronic degrees of freedom, acoustic strain pulses can be launched from various nanostructure elements as a probing mechanism of the dynamics of electron-phonon coupling beyond the standard dipole approximation due to the nano-scale wavelength of the acoustic wavepackets. This project investigated several static and dynamic aspects of electron-phonon and magnon-phonon coupling both in 3D and 1D confined systems, such as quantum dots and nanofilms.
