Dinâmica de buracos em poços quânticos com largura efetiva dependente periodicamente do tempo.

Abstract

In this work we studied the time evolution of the hole states of the valence sub-band of a heteroestructure quantum well type with effective width time periodically dependent. Although of the experimental point of view this work not to be possible, we can imagine a mechanism through which the active region of confinement is modified of periodic form. We study of detailed form the effect of the coupling (kk 6= 0), between bands HH and LH on the wave functions envelope, we analyze the probabilities of transistion in subbandas HH1 and LH1, effect this known as "mixing" of the valence subbands. To develop this study we made use of the time evolution operator applied the wave functions envelope that had been gotten by mass effective equation for the Luttinger Hamiltonian. We compare the results gotten with the results of another work, where the system evolves with constant speed, thus analyzing the differences in the evolutions. Unhappily we do not find in literature references regarding evolutions with periodic speed, what it disabled possible comparisons.
