In contrast to interband excitons in undoped quantum wells, doped quantum wells do not display sharp resonances due to excitonic bound states. In these systems the effective Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes typically only…
An approach is proposed to determine parameters of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening for reflection lines of quasi-two-dimensional excitons in semiconductor quantum well structures. A phenomenological model is developed taking into…
Excitons hosted by GaN/(Al,Ga)N quantum wells (QWs) are spatially indirect due to the giant built-in electric field that separates electrons and holes along the growth direction. This electric field, and thus exciton energy, can be reduced…
Engineering and probing excitonic properties at the nanoscale remains a central challenge in quantum photonics and optoelectronics. While exciton confinement via electrical control and strain engineering has been demonstrated in 2D…
We study the metal-insulator transition in individual self-assembled quantum wires and report optical evidences of metallic liquid condensation at low temperatures. Firstly, we observe that the temperature and power dependence of the single…
Multiple exciton generation (MEG) in nanometer-sized hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowires (NWs), and quasi two-dimensional nanofilms strongly depends on the degree of the core structural disorder as shown by the many-body perturbation…
Quantum dots (QDs) based on III-nitride semiconductors are promising for single photon emission at non-cryogenic temperatures due to their large exciton binding energies. Here, we demonstrate GaN QD single photon emitters operating at 300 K…
We report the synthesis and optical characterization of fully inorganic gradientshell CdSe/CdZnS nanocrystals (NCs) with high luminescence quantum yield (QY, 50 percent), which were obtained by replacing native oleic-acid (OA) ligands with…
Colloidal core/shell InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs), recently produced using an improved synthesis method, have a great potential in life-science applications as well as in integrated quantum photonics and quantum information processing as…
The valley degree of freedom in atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides provides a natural binary index for information processing. Exciton-polaritons formed under strong light-matter coupling offer a promising route to overcome…
We summarize the development of visible-sensitive gaseous photomultipliers, combining a semitransparent bi-alkali photocathode with a state-of-the-art cascaded electron multiplier. The latter has high photoelectron collection efficiency and…
Two-dimensional electron-hole gases in colloidal semiconductors have a wide variety of applications. Therefore, a proper physical understanding of these materials is of great importance. In this paper we present a detailed theoretical…
Indirect excitons -- pairs of electrons and holes spatially separated in semiconductor bilayers or quantum wells -- are known to undergo Bose-Einstein condensation and to form a quantum fluid. Here we show that this superfluid may…
Colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets exhibit quantum size effects due to their thickness of only few monolayers, together with strong optical band-edge transitions facilitated by large lateral extensions. In this article we demonstrate…
We consider the effects of electron-hole interaction, 2D confinement and applied electric field on direct allowed transitions in III-V semiconductors, with InGaAs as a study case. Instead of Coulomb interaction, we use Gaussian potential.…
We calculate the near-field optical spectra of excitons and biexcitons in semiconductor quantum dots naturally occurring at interface fluctuations in GaAs-based quantum wells, using a non-local description of the response function to a…
We study the evolution of the absorption spectrum of a modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor quantum well with decreasing the carrier density. We find that there is a critical density which marks the transition from a Fermi edge…
Theoretical and numerical calculations of the optical absorption spectra of excitons interacting with longitudinal-optical phonons in quasi-2D polar semiconductors are presented. In II-VI semiconductor quantum wells, exciton binding energy…
Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDS) are highly luminescent materials despite being sub-nanometer thick due to the ultra-short ($<1$ ps) radiative lifetime of the strongly bound bright excitons hosted by these materials. The…
We have theoretically studied exciton states and photoluminescence spectra of strained wurtzite AlGaN/GaN quantum-well heterostructures. The electron and hole energy spectra are obtained by numerically solving the Schr\"odinger equation,…
