Our recent work on the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor and graphene
quantum dots is reviewed. For strained self-assembled InAs quantum dots on GaAs or InP …

We investigate the influence of the electron-phonon interaction on the decay dynamics of a
quantum dot coupled to an optical microcavity. We show that the electron-phonon interaction …

We study experimentally and theoretically polarization-dependent luminescence from an
ensemble of quantum-dot-like nanostructures with a very large in-plane shape anisotropy …

We use entanglement to study shape transitions in two-electron axially symmetric parabolic
quantum dots in a perpendicular magnetic field. At a specific magnetic field value the dot …

We study theoretically phonon-assisted relaxation and inelastic tunneling of holes in a
double quantum dot. We derive hole states and relaxation rates from k· p Hamiltonians and …

Within the effective mass approximation an adiabatic description of spheroidal and dumbbell
quantum dot models in the regime of strong dimensional quantization is presented using the …

We theoretically study the optical properties and the electronic structure of highly elongated
InAs/InP quantum dots (quantum dashes) and show how carrier trapping due to geometrical …

We present a microscopic theory of the magnetic field dependence of the optical properties
of II–VI semiconductor quantum dots containing a single magnetic (Mn) impurity. The single …

Using the effective mass approximation and transfer matrix formalism the ground state
energy of an electron in GaAs/Ga 1− x Al x As concentric double quantum rings is calculated …

In this work the nonlinear gain dynamics of electrically injected quantum dot semiconductor
optical amplifiers is investigated. At first the semiclassical modeling ansatz on the basis of …
