Resonant Scattering and Energy Relaxation in Quantum Dot Systems
Figure 1
Schematic representation of direct (a) and resonant (b) scattering of a carrier with momentum on a dot with a trapped carrier on a level . After collision the first carrier leaves carrying momentum and the second one remains trapped on a new level . Resonant scattering involves formation of a virtual level .
