The first part of this thesis studies the problem of symmetry breaking in the context of simple mechanical systems with compact symmetry Lie group G. In this part we shall assume that the principal stratum of the G-action on the configuration space Q of a ...
We investigate the charge current that is optically injected by interference between one- and two-photon excitation in the presence of excitonic effects. We consider a realistic V-shaped quantum wire excited slightly below the band gap by two simultaneous ...
Due to the ubiquitous presence of a Berry phase, in most cases of dynamical Jahn-Teller systems the symmetry of the vibronic ground state is the same as that of the original degenerate electronic state; As a single exception, the linear H x h icosahedral m ...
The spatial and time-reversal symmetries of excitons in quantum wires are discussed, including possible use in numerical computation. Particular attention is paid to the important case of a single symmetry plane (group C-s). Even in such a low symmetry cas ...
The role of the confinement potential symmetry on the electronic and optical properties of quantum mires is systematically studied. In a wide class of quantum mires with mirror symmetry we evidence a new set of optical transitions resulting both from band ...
In a molecular semiconductor, a charged molecule experiences a lattice relaxation which reorganizes it into a cation or an anion-radical. This species is not, in general, a polaron. By using calculations of the geometry and the electronic structure both ab ...
