Using the tight-binding approach, we investigate the electronic properties of bilayer phosphorene (BLP) quantum dots (QDs) in the presence of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. Since BLP consists of two coupled phosphorene layers,…
Upon photo- or electrical-excitation, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are often found in multi-carrier states due to multi-photon absorption and photo-charging of the QDs. While many of these multi-carrier states are observed in single-dot…
We report charge detection in degenerately phosphorus-doped silicon double quantum dots (DQD) electrically connected to an electron reservoir. The sensing device is a single electron transistor (SET) patterned in close proximity to the DQD.…

Charging energy ($E_C$) is essential in quantum dot (QD) devices. Previous studies on PbTe QDs have reported both the presence and absence of $E_C$. To resolve this ambiguity, we vary the QD size, i.e. the cross-sectional area of PbTe…
Using atomistic pseudopotential wave functions we calculate the electron and hole charging energies of InAs quantum dots. We find that the charging energies depend strongly on the dielectric constant epsilon_out of the surrounding material,…

We study the addition energy spectra of phosphorene quantum dots focusing on the role of dot size, edges passivation, number of layers and dielectric constant of the substrate where the dots are deposited. We show that for sufficiently low…
Black phosphorous is a layered material having a high capacity of 2596 mAh/g as a battery electrode, however it suffers from cracking due to high volume expansion during lithiation. These cracks causes loss of electrical contact in the…
