A review is given of theoretical concepts and experimental results on spontaneous formation
of periodically ordered nanometer-scale structures on crystal surfaces. Thermodynamic …

The history of the development of semiconductor heterostructures and their applications in
various electron devices is presented, along with a brief historical survey of the physics …

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, often referred to as nanocrystals or quantum
dots, exhibit fascinating behavior and have a multitude of potential applications, especially …

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of the physics of zero-
dimensional semiconductors. It concentrates mainly on quantum dots of wide-gap …

Recent advances in nonsilica fiber technology have prompted the development of suitable
materials for devices operating beyond 1.55 μ m. The III–V ternaries and quaternaries …

Quantum-dot (QD) lasers provide superior lasing characteristics compared to quantum-well
(QW) and QW wire lasers due to their delta like density of states. Record threshold current …

In the present review we summarize original results where 1) we have experimentally
discovered a novel class of spontaneously ordered nanostructures, namely equilibrium …

The general trend in modern solid state physics and technology is to make things smaller.
The size of key elements in modern devices approaches the nanometer scale, for both …

We have studied optical properties of staggered band line-up (type-II) heterostructures
based on strained GaSb sheets in a GaAs matrix. The giant valence-band offset …
