Modern electronic and optoelectronic devices are approaching nanometric dimensions
where microscopic details cannot be treated in an effective way. Atomistic approaches …

Due to their intuitiveness, flexibility, and relative numerical efficiency, the macroscopic
Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations are a widely used semiclassical and semi …

The optical absorption spectrum of the carbon (4, 2) nanotube is computed using an ab initio
many-body approach which takes into account excitonic effects. We develop a new method …

We study exciton (EX) dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) included in
polymethylmethacrylate by two-color pump-probe experiments with unprecedented temporal …

We investigate experimentally and theoretically few-particle effects in the optical spectra of
single quantum dots (QDs). Photodepletion of the QD together with the slow hop** …

We propose an all-optical implementation of quantum-information processing in
semiconductor quantum dots, where electron-hole excitations (excitons) serve as the …

We perform ab initio calculations of optical properties for a typical semiconductor conjugated
polymer, poly-para-phenylenevinylene, in both isolated chain and crystalline packing. In …

A fully microscopic theory is presented for interacting electrons, holes, photons, and
phonons in semiconductor heterostructures. The formation dynamics and statistics of …

The advent of electron-and photon-confined structures has led to a wealth of novel physical
phenomena and device applications. While the 1980s were devoted to 2D electronic …

A detailed analysis of the electro-optical response of single as well as coupled
semiconductor quantum dots is presented. This is based on a realistic—ie, fully …
