Electronic properties of selected quantum dot (QD) systems are surveyed based on the multi-
band k· p method, which we benchmark by direct comparison to the empirical tight-binding …

We use an atomistic model to consider the effect of shape symmetry breaking on the optical
properties of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots. In particular, we investigate the …

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 …

Quantum dots with light-hole ground states could find numerous applications including
faster quantum bit operations or coherent conversion of photons into electron spins …

The electronic structure of highly mismatched semiconductor alloys is characterized by
carrier localization and strongly influenced by the local alloy microstructure. First-principles …

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) of group II-VI are key ingredients of next-generation QD light-
emitting diodes technology for display and lighting, yet the understanding of their …

In this work, we investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic-field
dependence of carrier states in a self-assembled quantum dot. The electron and hole …

A theoretical investigation on electron transport properties of rectangular graphene quantum
dots (GQDs) with non-centro-symmetric out-of-plane Gaussian deformation of elliptic type is …

Crystal phase quantum dots are formed by vertically stacking zinc-blende and wurtzite
phases during nanowire growth. In this work, we show, using an atomistic many-body …

Contrary to simplified theoretical models, atomistic calculations presented here reveal that
sufficiently large in-plane shape elongation of quantum dots can not only decrease, but even …
