State-dependent phonon-limited spin relaxation of nitrogen-vacancy centers
Understanding the limits to the spin coherence of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is vital to realizing the full potential of this quantum system.

Dirac semimetal PdTe2 temperature-dependent quasiparticle dynamics and electron–phonon coupling
Dirac semimetal PdTe2 single-crystal temperature-dependent ultrafast carrier and phonon dynamics were studied using ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis revealed a fast relaxation process (τf) occurring at a subpicosecond time

Ultrafast scattering dynamics of coherent phonons in Bi1−x Sb x in the Weyl semimetal phase
We investigate ultrafast phonon dynamics in the Bi _1− _x Sb _x alloy system for various compositions x using a reflective femtosecond pump-probe technique. The coherent optical phonons corresponding to the A _1 _g local vibrational modes of Bi–Bi, Bi–Sb,

Phonon-assisted relaxation between triplet and singlet states in a self-assembled double quantum dot
We study theoretically phonon-induced spin dynamics of two electrons confined in a self-assembled double quantum dot. We calculate the transition rates and time evolution of occupations for the spin-triplet and spin-singlet states.

It has now become recognized that the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) may play an important role in governing the phonon transport, especially for metallic and semiconducting systems at high carrier concentration. Here we focus on the Weyl semimetals TaAs

Size effect on the phonon heat conduction in semiconductor nanostructures [PDF]
Lattice thermal conductivity for silicon nanowires and quantum well are theoretically investigated in the temperature range from 2K to 300K. The modified Gallaway method for bulk crystal is used for calculating lattice thermal conductivity. All important

Spin-phonon decoherence in solid-state paramagnetic defects from first principles
Paramagnetic defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride possess a combination of spin and optical properties that make them prototypical solid-state qubits. Despite the coherence of these spin qubits being critically limited by spin-phonon relaxation,
