Quantum Wells, Wires and Dots provides all the essential information, both theoretical and
computational, to develop an understanding of the electronic, optical and transport …

Nanometer sized whiskers (nanowires) offer a vehicle for the study of size-dependent
phenomena. While quantum-size effects are commonly expected and easily predicted, size …

We report the first observation of stimulated emission in quasi-one-dimensional
semiconductor quantum wires. Amplified spontaneous emission and stimulated emission …

3.3. 1. Elemental source conventional molecular beam epitaxy 3.3. 2. Metalorganic vapor
phase epitaxy (MO VPE) 3.3. 3. Gas-source molecular beam epitaxy 3.3. 4. Modulated beam …

Quantum well devices have been the objects of intensive research during the last two
decades. Some of the devices have matured into commercially useful products and form part …

We describe the theory of interband transitions in quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor
structures. It is based on the effective-mass approximation and takes into account the mixing …

Epitaxial semiconductor quantum dots have been, in the last 40 years or so, at the center of
the research effort of a large community. The focus being on “semiconductor physics and …

Successful fabrication of thin GaAs quantum wires (120–200 Å)×(200–300 Å) by a novel
metal‐organic chemical‐vapor‐deposition growth technique is reported. The GaAs quantum …

We present a method of formulating the multiband-envelope-function equations for a
quantum structure whose internal interfaces are perpendicular planes. The method can be …

A single-band, constant-confining-potential model is applied to self-assembled InAs/GaAs
pyramidal dots in order to determine their electronic structure. The calculated energy …
