چکیده
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 discussed.

Probing Structure-Induced Optical Behavior in a New Class of Self- Activated Luminescent 0D/1D CaWO4 Metal Oxide−CdSe Nanocrystal Composite Heterostructures
In this report, we synthesize and characterize the structural and optical properties of novel heterostructures composed of (i) semiconducting nanocrystalline CdSe quantum dots (QDs) coupled with (ii) both oneand zero-dimensional (1D and 0D) motifs of self-activated luminescent CaWO4 metal oxides. Specifically, ∼4 nm CdSe QDs have been anchored onto (i) high-aspect ratio 1D nanowires, measuring ...
متن کاملDecoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...
متن کاملQuantum Hall states stabilized in semi-magnetic bilayers of topological insulators.
By breaking the time-reversal symmetry in three-dimensional topological insulators with the introduction of spontaneous magnetization or application of magnetic field, the surface states become gapped, leading to quantum anomalous Hall effect or quantum Hall effect, when the chemical potential locates inside the gap. Further breaking of inversion symmetry is possible by employing magnetic topol...
متن کاملComparison of Zn1−xMnxTe/ZnTe multiple-quantum wells and quantum dots by below-bandgap photomodulated reflectivity
Large-area high density patterns of quantum dots with a diameter of 200 nm have been prepared from a series of four Zn0.93Mn0.07Te/ZnTe multiple quantum well structures of different well width (40 Å, 60 Å, 80 Å and 100 Å) by electron beam lithography followed by Ar-ion beam etching. Below-bandgap photomodulated reflectivity spectra of the quantum dot samples and the parent heterostructures were...
