We present an overview of the current progress in the understanding of the (steady state)
optical properties of individual II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals. We begin with a …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets manifest strong quantum
confinement with exceptional optical characteristics of narrow photoluminescence peaks …

Abstract nextnano is a simulation tool that aims at providing global insight into the basic
physical properties of realistic three-dimensional mesoscopic semiconductor structures. It …

A theoretical study of the positive and negative trion channels in the nonradiative Auger
recombination of band-edge biexcitons (BXs) in CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) is …

Many optoelectronic devices could achieve much higher efficiencies if the excess energy of
electrons excited well above the conduction band minimum could be used to promote other …

We calculate the rate of nonradiative Auger recombination in negatively charged CdSe
nanocrystals (NCs). The rate is nonmonotonic, strongly oscillating with NC size, and …

We present an explanation to the spurious solution problem affecting the k∙ p envelope
function method, indicating that the problem is mathematically caused by loss of ellipticity of …

The interband and intraband spectra of colloidal II-VI CdS and CdSe quantum dot cores and
Cd S∕ Zn Se⁠, Cd S∕ Cd Se⁠, Cd Se∕ Cd S⁠, and Cd Se∕ Zn Se core/shell systems are …
