Solid-state chemists have been consistently successful in envisioning and making new
compounds, often enlisting the tools of theoretical solid-state physics to explain some of the …

Self-assembled quantum dots have excellent photonic properties. For instance, a single
quantum dot is a high-brightness, narrow-linewidth source of single photons. Furthermore …

We present atomistic tight-binding theory of electronic structure and optical properties of
InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. The tight-binding model includes zincblende …

The excitonic fine structure splitting describes the splitting of the bright excitons as a
consequence of the atomistic symmetry of the lattice and the electron-hole exchange …

Strained semiconductor nanostructures can be used to make single-photon sources,
detectors and photovoltaic devices, and could potentially be used to create quantum logic …

I present a systematic study of self-assembled InAs/InP and InAs/GaAs quantum dot single-
particle and many-body properties as a function of the quantum dot–surrounding matrix …

The heavy-hole (HH) and light-hole (LH) components of the valence states in three-
dimensional (3D) bulk semiconductors can mix quantum mechanically as the dimensionality …

In this article we review the extensive experimental work on the compositional map** of
semiconductor quantum dots and rings. After a brief introduction of the various experimental …

This study compares cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy and atom probe
tomography. We use epitaxially grown self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) in GaAs as …

We report a large g factor tunability of a single hole spin in an InGaAs quantum dot via an
electric field. The magnetic field lies in the in-plane direction x, the direction required for a …
