I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

The magnetization of one-and two-electron quantum dots and a series of quantum rings with
increasingly larger inner radii is calculated using a three-dimensional model with realistic …

The spin state of holes confined in single InAs quantum dots have recently emerged as a
promising system for the storage or manipulation of quantum information. These holes are …

In this paper we calculate electron energy states and magnetization for torus shaped
nanoscale quantum rings with external magnetic fields. We use the three-dimensional …

Near-infrared spectra of self-assembled quantum rings are calculated using the k⋅ p
method with rectangular band-offset potentials in three dimensions. The effective-mass …

The effect of the surface curvature on the magnetic moment and persistent currents in two-
dimensional quantum rings and dots is investigated. It is shown that the surface curvature …

A comprehensive study of anisotropic quantum rings, QRs, subject to axial and in-plane
magnetic field, both aligned and transverse to the anisotropy direction, is carried out …

In this work, we briefly review present day knowledge about possible types, methods of
fabrication, and fascination physical properties of nano-scale semiconductor rings. In …

We theoretically investigate the electron and hole states in a semiconductor quantum dot-
quantum ring coupled structure, inspired by the recent experimental report by Elborg and …

We use spin-density-functional theory within an envelope function approach to calculate
electronic states in a GaAs/InAs core-shell nanowire pierced by an axial magnetic field. Our …
