Bound states in the continuum in quantum dot pairs
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that for two open quantum dots connected by a wire, “bound states in the continuum” of a single electron are formed at nearly periodic distances between the dots. This is due to Fabry-Pérot interference between quasi-bound states in each dot. The bound states are non-local, describing the electron trapped in both dots at the same time. Theoretical and numerical results show that trapped states exist even if the wire connecting the dots is relatively long.

Energy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...

متن کاملUnbound states in quantum heterostructures
We report in this review on the electronic continuum states of semiconductor Quantum Wells and Quantum Dots and highlight the decisive part played by the virtual bound states in the optical properties of these structures. The two particles continuum states of Quantum Dots control the deco-herence of the excited electron – hole states. The part played by Auger scattering in Quantum Dots is also ...
متن کاملResonances in quantum-dot transport.
Scattering resonances in ballistic conduction across a quantum dot in a weak magnetic field are investigated. Due to the special geometry considered, the resonances grow narrower with decreasing B, until at B = 0 they become bound states in the continuum. Whereas previously treated geometries exhibit at most one bound state with energy in the continuum, the number of such states in the present ...
