Research on conducting and semiconducting solids has become one of the fashionable
subjects in the field of physics for the last four or five decades partly because of the …

The application of femtosecond spectroscopy to the study of ultrafast dynamics in
semiconductor materials and nanostructures is reviewed with particular emphasis on the …

Low-dimensional semiconductors provide a marvelous platform for pursuing versatile
photocatalytic solar energy conversion. Compared with the bulk counterparts, low …

The reduced point symmetry C 2 v of a zinc-blende-based (001) interface allows mixing
between heavy-and light-hole states even under normal incidence. We have generalized …

The quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) is an established optical modulation mechanism,
yet top-performing modulators harnessing it rely on costly fabrication processes. Here, we …

This work contains a theoretical analysis of the optical properties of semiconductor quantum
wells embedded in planar Fabry-Perot microcavities. In particular, the properties of the …

The optical properties of high-quality V-groove GaAs/Al x Ga 1− x As quantum wires have
been investigated using low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence …

Low-dimensional semiconductors have become a vital part of today's semiconductor
physics, and excitons in these systems are ideal objects that bring textbook quantum …

We describe a highly efficient, general-purpose, and easy-to-use method of calculating the
optical absorption of semiconductor microstructures. The linear optical susceptibility is …

We have studied the effect of valence band mixing on the optical properties of
