For particular values of the dot level splitting $\\Delta$, piezo-electric or deformation potential scattering is either drastically reduced as compared to the bulk case, or strongly enhanced due to phonon van Hove singularities. By tuning $\\Delta$ via gate voltages, one can either control dephasing, or strongly increase emission into phonon modes with characteristic angular distributions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-20T16:54:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coupled quantum dots", "phonon emission", "phonon van hove singularities", "phonon subband quantization", "characteristic angular distributions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
