Significant energy relaxation of quantum dot emitted hot electrons
Mesoscopic quantum dots (QDs) are ubiquitous in quantum devices as reliable sources of hot electrons. However, we have observed an unexpectedly significant energy relaxation of QD-emitted hot electrons up to ≈55% of its excitation ≤1.5meV from the Fermi level. The energetics of hot electrons were ob...
