Tunneling excitations of electrons in dry-etched modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs coupled quantum dots (QDs) are probed by resonant inelastic light scattering. A sequence of intra- and intershell excitations are found at energies determined by…

Exchange interaction has been studied for electrons in coupled quantum dots (QD's) by a configuration interaction method using confinement potentials with different profiles. The confinement potential has been parametrized by a two-centre…
We study the effect of elastic anisotropic biaxial strain on the light emitted by neutral excitons confined in different kinds of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). We find that the light polarization rotates by up to 80 degree and the…

Among recent proposals for next-generation, non-charge-based logic is the notion that a single electron can be trapped and its spin can be manipulated through the application of gate potentials. In this paper, we present numerical…

Magnetic anisotropies in quantum dots (QDs) doped with magnetic ions are discussed in terms of two frameworks: anisotropic $g$-factors and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. It is shown that even a simple model of zinc-blende p-doped QDs…
Chiral coupling, which allows directional interactions between quantum dots (QDs) and photonic crystal waveguide modes, holds promise for enhancing the functionality of quantum photonic integrated circuits. Elliptical polarizations of QD…
Excitons confined to flat semiconductor quantum dots with elliptical cross section are considered as we study geometrical effects on exciton binding energy, electron-hole separation, and the resulting linear optical properties. We use…
Due to their ability to strongly modify the local electromagnetic (EM) field through the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), plasmonic nanostructures have been often used to reshape the emission direction and enhance the…
We investigate the effect of an applied magnetic field on resonant tunneling of electrons through the bound states of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded within an (AlGa)As tunnel barrier. At low temperatures (no more than 2 K),…
The energy levels and optical transitions of tetrahedral core/shell InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by means of multi-band k$\cdot$p theory. Despite the $\overline{T}_d$ symmetry relaxing spherical selection rules, the…

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanostructures in which a three dimensional potential trap produces an electronic quantum confinement, thus mimicking the behaviour of single atomic dipole-like transitions. However unlike atoms, QDs can…
