▪ Abstract As a result of their fully quantized electronic states and high radiative efficiencies,
self-assembled quantum dots have enabled major advances in fundamental physics studies …

Lead has recently been expelled from many commercial applications and materials (for
example, from solder, glass and pottery glaze) owing to concerns regarding its toxicity. Lead …

The spin of a single electron subject to a static magnetic field provides a natural two-level
system that is suitable for use as a quantum bit, the fundamental logical unit in a quantum …

We have demonstrated highly pure single-photon emissions from an InAs/InP quantum dot
at the wavelength of 1.5 μm. By applying quasi-resonant excitation, one exciton is …

Self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) exhibit fully quantized electronic states
and high radiative efficiencies. This makes them highly suitable both for fundamental …

We study the optical emission from single semiconductor quantum dots coupled to the
optical modes of photonic crystal nanocavities. For dots that are both spectrally and spatially …

We report polarized photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of the negative trion in
single charge-tunable InAs/GaAs quantum dots. The spectrum exhibits ap-shell resonance …

A microscopic theory is used to study the optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots.
The dephasing of a coherent excitation and line shifts of the interband transitions due to …

We present a detailed study of a phonon-assisted incoherent excitation mechanism of single
quantum dots. A spectrally detuned continuous-wave laser couples to a quantum dot …

A problem of screening of electron–electron interaction by LO phonons is investigated for
bound two-electron systems in bulk semiconductors and semiconductor quantum dots. We …
