Quantum wells (QWs), quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor heterostructures with nanoscopic dimensions. At this length scale, their properties are governed by quantum mechanics. The interest in these nanostructures is motivated by a ...
Semiconductor quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) represent important classes of low-dimensional quantum nanostructures, useful for studies and applications of quasi one- and zero-dimensional systems. Recently, considerable efforts have been devote ...
Quantum dots (QDs) have a potential for application in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), due to their high saturation power related to the low differential gain, fast gain recovery and wide gain spectrum compared to quantum wells. Besides all advant ...
The theories used up to now to model theoretically and numerically nanostructures, and more specifically semiconductor heterostructures, do not allow to include efficiently at the envelope function level, in a k · p approach, the effects imposed by a possi ...
A quantum dot is a semiconductor nanostructure that confines the motion of conduction band electrons and valence band holes in all three spatial directions, thus creating fully discrete energy levels. The confinement in the InAs/GaAs material system is gen ...
Semiconductor quantum dots are usually compared to artificial atoms, because their electronic structure consists of discrete energy levels as for natural atoms. These artificial systems are integrated in solid materials and can be localized with a spatial ...
Control on the degree of valence band mixing is experimentally achieved in the particular GaAs/AlGaAs quantum Dot-in-Dot (DiD) structure. The effect is reflected by the tunable polarization of the emitted photons. ...

We present a microscopic theoretical analysis of time and spatially resolved photoluminescence of naturally occurring quantum dots induced by monolayer fluctuations in the thickness of semiconductor quantum wells. The analysis is based on a recently develo ...
A terrylene chromophore exhibiting a high extinction coeff. has been developed as a sensitizer for photovoltaic applications. The photophys. and photochem. properties of the dye were analyzed both exptl. and theor. Terrylene-sensitized nanocryst. TiO2 sola ...
Silicon oxide films containing CdS quantum dots have been deposited on glass substrates by a sol–gel dip-coating process. Hereby the CdS nanocrystals are grown during the thermal annealing step following the dip-coating procedure. Total hemispherical trans ...
