Decoherence reduces thermal energy loss in graphene quantum dots

H. M. Jaeger, J. R. Green, and O. V. Prezhdo

Intraband splitting energies in graphene quantum dots are on the order of the fundamental phonon energies, creating a single-phonon relaxation pathway. Yet, charge carrier thermalization is slow. Our time-domain, ab initio computations demonstrate that the slow rate of electronic relaxation is due ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 073111 (2013)] published Wed Aug 14, 2013.
