Abstract
The interplay between geometrical confinement and materials considerations can efficiently reduce phonon-assisted transport, enabling scattering time and dissipation engineering in quantum devices. In resonant tunneling (RT) structures, quenching of phonon-assisted transmission leading to considerable reduction of the off-resonance valley-current is shown to occur in interband devices. In structures of low dimensionality such as quantum wires, electron-phonon scattering exhibits size effects and intersubband resonances which modulates the drift velocity and conductance of one-dimensional systems. Quantum dot nanostructures offer large flexibility for reduction and modulation of dissipative processes such as oscillatory hopping conductance induced by acoustic phonons in linear chains of quantum dots or negative differential resistance curve shaping in RT through quantum dot arrays.
