Abstract
This paper analyzes dynamic behaviors of dressed-photon—phonon (DPP) energy transfer by using a blown-up quantum walk model. Numerical calculations are carried out in the case when a large nanometer-sized particle NPO is surrounded by five small particles NPIs. Spectral profiles of the DPP transfer indicate that the speeds of the inter-NP transfer, intra-NP transfer, and local transfer are different with each other. This difference is the possible origin of the pulsative behavior found in the transitional period. In the case when the number of the transfer routes is large, the DPP rapidly transfers to reach the NPO. Conversely, in the case where the number of transfer routes is small, the DPP transfers slowly. It is presumed that such unique nature of the DPP transfer is governed by the off-shell scientific principle of maximizing the average entropy generation.
