complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (cmos) technology has been the industry standard to implement very large scale integrated (vlsi) devices for the last two decades. due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. quantum-dot cellular...

we study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first excited states (gfes) of an electron strongly coupled to the lo-phonon in an asymmetry quantum dot (aqd) under an applied electric field by using a variational method of the pekar type (vmpt). this aqd two-level system may be viewed as a single qubit. when the electron is in the superposition state (ss) of the gfes, the effec...

interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. in this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect ingaas/algaas quantum dot (scdqd). the simulation is based on the imaginary time...

We study the coupling between a photonic crystal cavity and an off-resonant quantum dot under resonant excitation of the cavity or the quantum dot. Linewidths of the quantum dot and the cavity as a function of the excitation laser power are measured. We show that the linewidth of the quantum dot, measured by observing the cavity emission, is significantly broadened compared to the theoretical e...

In this review, we discuss the electronic structure of finite quantal systems on the nanoscale. After a few general remarks on the many-particle physics of the harmonic oscillator – likely being the most studied example for the many-body systems of finite quantal systems, we turn to the electronic structure of metal clusters. We discuss Jahn-Teller deformations for the so-called ’ultimate’ jell...

Enhancement of the photoluminescence (PL) of colloidal CdSe and (core)shell (CdSe)ZnS quantum dots has been observed when the dots are illuminated above the band-gap energy. The effect occurs in dots suspended in a variety of organic or aqueous environments. During periods of constant illumination, the exciton PL quantum yield was found to reach a value of up to 60 times that of the solution of...

A spectral model of luminescence the two-component exciton-activated semiconductor quantum dot (QD) layered plasmon composite nanoparticle (CNP) with a dielectric core and conductive shell in an external magnetic field is constructed, taking into account inhomogeneity quasi-stationary electric generated by QD CNP region, outside framework approximation dipole polarizability CNP. The tensor form...

The combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on correlation energy in a triplet state of two electron spherical quantum dot with square well potential is computed. The result is presented taking GaAs dot as an example. Our result shows the correlation energies are i)negative in the triplet state contrast to the singlet state ii) it increases with increase in pressure  iii)further...

Full counting statistics of electron transport is a powerful diagnostic tool for probing the nature of quantum transport beyond what is obtainable from the average current or conductance measurement alone. In particular, the non-Markovian dynamics of quantum dot molecule plays an important role in the nonequilibrium electron tunneling processes. It is thus necessary to understand the non-Markov...
