We present an overview of the current progress in the understanding of the (steady state)
optical properties of individual II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals. We begin with a …

This paper presents results of ab initio accuracy thousand atom calculations of colloidal
quantum dots and wires using the charge patching method. We have used density functional …

Self-assembled quantum dots are often modeled by continuum models (effective mass or k∙
p) that assume the symmetry of the dot to be that of its overall geometric shape. Lens …

We present KITE, a general purpose open-source tight-binding software for accurate real-
space simulations of electronic structure and quantum transport properties of large-scale …

This Perspective describes the mechanisms by which organic surfactants, in particular,
phenyldithiocarbamates (PTCs), couple electronically to the delocalized states of …

Quantum-dot (QD) white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are promising for illumination and
display applications due to their excellent color quality. Although they have a high quantum …

In this work we investigate the electronic and optical properties of self-assembled quantum
dots by means of a tight-binding model. Coulomb and dipole matrix elements are calculated …

We present atomistic tight-binding theory of electronic structure and optical properties of
InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. The tight-binding model includes zincblende …

We present an atomistic tight-binding study of the electronic structure and optical properties
of vertically stacked, double, self-assembled, InAs∕ GaAs quantum dots. The investigated …

Surface effects significantly influence the functionality of semiconductor nanocrystals. A
theoretical understanding of these effects requires an atomic-scale description of the …
