The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

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 …

We propose a new method of generating nonclassical optical field states. The method uses
a semiconductor device, which consists of a single quantum dot as active medium …

Quantum dots or rings are artificial nanometre-sized clusters that confine electrons in all
three directions. They can be fabricated in a semiconductor system by embedding an island …

Making use of self-assembly techniques, we realize nanoscopic semiconductor quantum
rings in which the electronic states are in the true quantum limit. We employ two …

We adopt an atomistic pseudopotential description of the electronic structure of self-
assembled, lens-shaped InAs quantum dots within the “linear combination of bulk bands” …

We show how the optical properties of a single semiconductor quantum dot can be
controlled with a small dc voltage applied to a gate electrode. We find that the transmission …

We present perturbation theory results for the Coulomb interactions between electrons, and
between electrons and holes, in small quantum dots. The results are used to model both …

Interband excitations of an ensemble of InAs self-assembled quantum dots have been
directly observed in transmission experiments. The dots are embedded in a field-effect …

Two electrons confined in quantum dots (QD's) are studied under an assumption of a
Gaussian confining potential and its parabolic approximation. We have calculated the …
