Abstract
A quantum kinetic equation describing damping of the Bloch oscillations in ideal quantum-dot (QD) superlattices of various dimensionalities (1D, 2D, 3D) has been derived using the density matrix formalism. The possibility of suppressing completely single-phonon scattering by optical phonons and considerably suppressing the acoustic-phonon scattering in the QD superlattice by effectively controlling the spectrum by varying the DC electric field magnitude and orientation is demonstrated. Conditions ensuring that the only photon-scattering mechanism responsible for damping of the Bloch oscillations is scattering by acoustic phonons within transverse minibands of the Stark carrier-state ladder are obtained.
