Photonic nanostructures provide a means of tailoring the interaction between light and
matter and the past decade has witnessed tremendous experimental and theoretical …

Interest in the multiple facets of optical vortices has flourished in the last three decades. This
review examines the basic research and applications of the interplay between optical …

Many recent advances in microelectronics would not have been possible without the
development of strain induced nanodevices and bandgap engineering, in particular …

A coherent ensemble of spins interfaced with a proxy qubit is an attractive platform to create
many-body coherences and probe the regime of collective excitations. An electron spin qubit …

Self-assembled nanostructures, such as quantum dots (QDs), quantum rings (QRs) and
nanowires (NWs), have been extensively studied because of their physical properties and …

Self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are born out of lattice mismatched ingredients where
strain plays an indispensable role. Through the electric quadrupolar coupling, strain affects …

Epitaxially grown self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) with atom-like optical
properties have emerged as the best choice for single-photon sources required for the …

In the last two decades, extensive research has been devoted to the development of new
ultra-small lasers. The greatest progress has been made with semiconductor lasers. A …

A wealth of atomistic information is contained within a self-assembled quantum dot (QD),
associated with its chemical composition and the growth history. In the presence of …

A procedure to quantitatively analyse the relationship between the wetting layer (WL) and
the quantum dots (QDs) as a whole in a statistical way is proposed. As we will show in the …
