Abstract
This paper analyzes the spatial distribution of a dressed-photon–phonon (DPP) that is confined by a boron (B) atom-pair in a silicon light-emitting diode by using a two-dimensional quantum walk model. It is confirmed that the DPP is confined by the B atom-pair, which is oriented along a direction perpendicular to that of the incident light propagation. The dependence of the confined DPP probability on the length of the B atom-pair is analyzed. The spatial distribution profile of the confined DPP is found to be asymmetric, which indicates photon breeding with respect to the photon momentum.
