The theory of electron correlation in semiconductor quantum dots is reviewed with emphasis
on the physics of dots in strong magnetic fields. A brief survey of dot fabrication and …

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of the physics of zero-
dimensional semiconductors. It concentrates mainly on quantum dots of wide-gap …

Semiconductor quantum dots represent one of the fields of solid state physics that have
experienced the greatest progress in the last decade. Recent years have witnessed the …

The elastic field around a buried, strained quantum dot is solved with a scalar potential that
obeys Poisson's equation. Standard methods from electrostatics can therefore be used. The …

In quantum dot structures, photoionization has been considered as an optical transition from
the impurity ground state to the conduction subbands. Using a variational approach, we …

The energy spectrum and the wave functions of an electron in a quantum dot (QD) are
computed using the effective-mass approximation. The case of a shallow, hydrogenlike …

An unprecedentedly well resolved Zeeman effect has been observed when confined carriers
moving along a closed mesoscopic path experience an external magnetic field orthogonal to …

We present an exact diagonalization method that allows the electronic states of interacting
electrons in a quantum dot to be calculated from first principles, without making assumptions …

In this study, we have performed a detailed investigation of the electronic properties of a
core/shell/well/shell multilayered spherical quantum dot, such as energy eigenvalues, wave …

The electronic and optical properties of strained semiconductor quantum wires and dots are
investigated theoretically, taking into account their shapes and chemical compositions in a …
