Description and Table of Contents

Description

The work covers many topics concerned with the man-made electronic systems called quantum dots, in particular: methods of creation, internal properties (electronic structure), directly observed properties (response to the experimental probes like light or electrodes), experimental methods and results, physical effects occuring in dots, theoretical models, computational methods, and future applications. The review part only requires basic knowledge on quantum mechanics and solid state physics.

Table of Contents

  • Creation and structure of quantum dots
  • single-particle states of quantum dots
  • properties of an interacting system
  • intra-band optical transitions
  • inter-band optical transitions
  • capacitance spectroscopy
  • description of the properties of self-assembled quantum dots within the band-structure model
  • description of a many-electron quantum dot with the inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction
  • description of an exciton in a quantum dot within the effective-mass approximation.
