We derive explicit, closed-form expressions describing elastic and piezoelectric
deformations due to polyhedral inclusions in uniform half-space and bi-materials. Our …

The in-plane photoconductivity and photoluminescence are investigated in quantum dot-
chain InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures. Different photoconductivity transients resulting from …

Characteristics of the self-organized quantum dots (QDs) such as electron and hole energy
levels and wave functions are dependent to the state of strain and electric field produced …

Nano-onions are ellipsoidal or spherical particles consisting of a core surrounded by
concentric shells of nanometre size. Nano-onions produced by self-assembly and colloidal …

Elastic-energy relaxation in systems with nanoinclusions is considered. The relaxation is
related to the formation of the following dislocation loops: a single misfit dislocation loop or a …

We present first a compatibility equation for the misfit strains induced in alloyed quantum
dots (QDs) by the mismatch in the lattice constants or the thermal-expansion coefficients of …

A novel peak finding method to map the strain from high resolution transmission electron
micrographs, known as the Peak Pairs method, has been applied to In (Ga) As/AlGaAs …

CdSe/CdS dot/rods nanocrystals show interesting physical properties related to the band-
alignment at the hetero-interface, which controls the band-edge electron delocalization over …

By introducing a homogeneous piezoelectric material and its Green's function, we present a
new semi-analytical three-dimensional perturbation method for general inhomogeneity …

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the dependence of degree of strain relaxation of
the self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dot on the geometrical parameters. Differently …
