Research paper thumbnail of Generalised Master Equation for the Spin-Boson Hamiltonian by the Projection Operator Technique

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 2000

By using this technique we find a series expansion of the memory kernel which allows, in principle, a treatment of the higher orders of approximation. By keeping only the first term of this expansion, which corresponds to the second order of the perturbation treatment, GME is applied, in the Markov approximation, to the spin boson Hamiltonian to describe the dynamics of the relevant pseudo-spin subsystem. In the secular and rotating wave approximations this dynamics is found to be described by the Bloch equations.

Analytical results are obtained for the isotropic case of the elasticity. For the isotropic dielectric constant case, we provide an analytical expression of the piezoelectric potential. An extension of Eshleby's continuum elasticity theory of inclusions [J. D. Eshelby, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A, 376 (1957)] to QDs with wetting layers is adopted. The results for self-assembled InAs/GaAs QDs are compared with numerical results obtained with an atomistic model based on the valence force field method. We find good agreement between the results obtained with the two methods.

The absorption and photoluminescence spectra of such nanostructures are analyzed.
