Based on the theory of dissipative two level systems for the spin dynamics, we derive a relation between the spin dissipative bath, the electron confinement, and the electron-phonon interaction. We find that there is an energy scale, typically smaller than the electronic lateral confinement energy, which sets the boundary between different dissipative regimes .", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-11-27T21:01:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dots", "dissipative dynamics", "host lattice acoustic phonon modes", "electronic lateral confinement energy", "electronic spins" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
