Abstract
Temperature dependence of the homogeneous linewidth of CuBr quantum dots in glass and NaBr matrices and CdSe quantum dots in glass matrix has been investigated using heterodyne-detected accumulated photon echo. We can reproduce the observed nonlinear temperature dependence considering two characteristic mechanisms: the small energy excitation in two-level system and the two-phonon Raman process of confined acoustic phonons. The interaction with the two-level system is dominant below 15 K and 10 K for CuBr and CdSe quantum dots, respectively. Above these temperatures the interaction with confined phonons is dominant. These results are similar to those of a previous study of CuCl quantum dots in glass, showing the universal influence of confined phonons and surrounding matrices on the low-temperature dephasing process of very small semiconductor quantum dots.
