Valence band mixing of cubic GaN/AlN quantum dots.
We study the spin purity of the hole ground state in nearly axially symmetric GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs). To this end, we develop a six-band Burt-Foreman Hamiltonian describing the valence band structure of zinc blende nanostructures with cylindrical symmetry and calculate the effects of eccentricity variationally. We show that the aspect ratio is a key factor for spin purity. In typical QDs wi...
متن کاملElectronic Levels of Cubic Quantum Dots
In recent years, the progress in growing techniques and the present degree of control of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the epitaxy of strained layers has allowed the built up of not only arrays of quantum dots but also isolated quantum dots (QDs). These three-dimensional (3D) structures are considered as “artificial atoms” whose dimension can be tailored. These “atoms” are the subject ...
متن کاملElectrochemical hole injection into the valence band of thiol stabilised CdTe quantum dots.
The electrochemical injection of holes into the valence band of mercaptopropionic acid stabilised CdTe quantum dots in aqueous solution was investigated employing a glassy carbon rotating disc electrode. Analysis of the first exciton peak and the electrochemical responses as a function of the particle size was performed within the framework of the effective mass approximation and tight-binding ...
متن کاملInter-valence-band hole-hole scattering in cubic semiconductors
Transitions between valence subbands resulting from hole-hole scattering in cubic semiconductors have been analyzed in the frame of Coulomb interaction of valence electrons in the Luttinger-Kohn representation. Expressions for transition rates are derived. Calculated rates for transitions between lightand heavy-hole bands are presented for germanium. Hole-hole scattering has remarkably differen...
متن کاملBand-edge exciton in quantum dots of semiconductors with a degenerate valence band: Dark and bright exciton states.
We present a theoretical analysis of the band-edge exciton structure in nanometer-size crystallites of direct semiconductors with a cubic lattice structure or a hexagonal lattice structure which can be described within the framework of a quasicubic model. The lowest energy exciton, eightfold degenerate in spherically symmetric dots, is split into five levels by the crystal shape asymmetry, the ...
