Renormalization approach for quantum-dot structures under strong alternating fields
We develop a renormalization method for calculating the electronic structure
of single and double quantum dots under intense ac fields. The nanostructures
are emulated by lattice models with a clear continuum limit of the
effective-mass and single-particle approximations. The coupling to the ac field
is treated non-perturbatively by means of the Floquet Hamiltonian. The
renormalization approach allows the study of dressed states of the nanoscopic
system with realistic geometries as well arbitrary strong ac fields. We give
examples of a single quantum dot, emphasizing the analysis of the
effective-mass limit for lattice models, and double-dot structures, where we
discuss the limit of the well used two-level approximation.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
