Figure 4.

Finite temperature Orbach and Raman computed transition rates. Right and left panel report the matrix elements of W^1–ph and W^2–ph, respectively, expressed in the basis of the eigenvectors of the ground KD’s g-tensor. On the x-axis, it is reported the computed average magnetic moment for the first four KDs and their energy separation from the ground state. All the rates are expressed in ps^–1 and always refer to absorption rates. The emission rates are always found to be much larger because of the spontaneous emission contribution.
