In this topical review, we report on recent advances on the coupling of single semiconductor
quantum emitters, quantum dots, to the dynamic strain and electric fields of surface acoustic …

Coupled quantum dots (CQDs) that consist of two InAs QDs stacked along the growth
direction and separated by a relatively thin tunnel barrier have been the focus of extensive …

We describe the valence-band holes of quantum dot molecules formed by two vertically
coupled disks, using a four-band k⋅ p Hamiltonian. It is shown that the strong spin-orbit …

We present a quantum-kinetic theory of the excitation transfer in a quantum dot molecule.
We derive the consistent Markovian limit for the system kinetics, which leads to a description …

We investigate charge relaxation rates due to acoustic phonons in weakly confined quantum
dot systems, including both deformation potential and piezoelectric field interactions. Single …

We study theoretically phonon-assisted relaxation processes in a system consisting of one
or two electrons confined in two vertically stacked self-assembled quantum dots. The …

We report optical orientation experiments performed under circularly polarized, nonresonant
excitation in n-doped quantum dot ensembles with an average number of resident electrons …

We probe acoustic phonon mediated relaxation between tunnel coupled exciton states in an
individual quantum dot molecule in which the interdot quantum coupling and energy …

Tunable exciton relaxation rates are observed in individual vertically coupled semiconductor
quantum dots (CQDs). An applied electric field is used to tune the energy difference …

The authors report a detailed investigation of the structural and optical properties of vertically
stacked InAs quantum dots embedded in an (In, Ga) As quantum well by means of …
