In order to study heterostructures composed both of materials with strongly different parameters and of materials with narrow band gaps, we have developed an approach, which combines the spherical 8-band effective-mass Hamiltonian and the…
The electronic structure of pyramidal shaped InAs/GaAs quantum dots is calculated using an eight-band strain dependent $\bf k\cdot p$ Hamiltonian. The influence of strain on band energies and the conduction-band effective mass are examined.…
Method of invariants is used to obtain effective kp-Hamiltonian with position-dependent band parameters and correct boundary conditions for electron and hole envelope functions in A3B5-heterostructures with arbitrary interface orientation.…
We develop a unified framework to compute band-geometric quantities in multiband systems whose low-energy Hamiltonians realize arbitrary $SU(2)$ representations. Exploiting the presence of a quantization axis, we use the Wigner--Eckart…
We calculate ground and excited electron and hole levels in spherical Si quantum dots inside SiO$_2$ in a multiband effective mass approximation. Luttinger Hamiltonian is used for holes and the strong anisotropy of the conduction electron…
We obtain the exact energy spectrum of nonuniform mass particles for a collection of Hamiltonians in a three-dimensional approach to a quantum dot. By considering a set of generalized Schr\"odinger equations with different orderings between…
he properties of excitons formed in spherical quantum dots are studied using the $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ method within the Hartree approximation. The spherical quantum dots considered have a central core and several concentric layers of…
A method for the calculation of the electronic structure of pyramidal self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots is presented. The method is based on exploiting the exact $\bar{C}_{4}$ symmetry of the 8-band $k\cdot p$ Hamiltonian with the…
We study a magnetic Schr{\"o}dinger Hamiltonian, with axisymmetric potential in any dimension. The associated magnetic field is unitary and non constant. The problem reduces to a 1D family of singular Sturm-Liouville operators on the…
A multiscale approach was adopted for the calculation of confined states in self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). While results close to experimental data have been obtained with a combination of atomistic strain and…
A nonlinear model of the quantum harmonic oscillator on two-dimensional spaces of constant curvature is exactly solved. This model depends of a parameter $\la$ that is related with the curvature of the space. Firstly the relation with other…
In this paper a multi-band envelope-function Hamiltonian for lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures is derived from first-principles norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The theory is applicable to isovalent or heterovalent…
The use of the hyperspherical harmonic (HH) basis in the description of bound states in an $A$-body system composed by identical particles is normally preceded by a symmetrization procedure in which the statistic of the system is taken into…
The Hyperspherical Harmonics basis, without a previous symmetrization step, is used to calculate binding energies of the nuclear A=6 systems using a version of the Volkov potential acting only on s-wave. The aim of this work is to…
Effective mass equations are the simplest models of carrier states in a semiconductor structures that reduce the complexity of a solid-state system to Schr\"odinger- or Pauli-like equations resempling those well known from quantum mechanics…
Rotationally invariant combinations of the Brillouin zone-center Bloch functions are used as basis function to express in cylindrical coordinates the valence-band and Kane envelope-function Hamiltonians for wurtzite and zinc-blende…
We present a detailed comparative study of two important theoretical approaches: atomistic sp$^3$d$^5$s$^*$ tight-binding and continuum eight-band $k \cdot p$ methods, for modeling the spin and optical properties of quantum dots (QDs). Our…
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…
The Schroedinger equation is solved for an A-nucleon system using an expansion of the wave function in nonsymmetrized hyperspherical harmonics. Our approach is both an extension and a modification of the formalism developed by Gattobigio et…
Modifications of spin-splitting dispersion relations and density of states for electrons in non-symmetric heterostructures under in-plane magnetic field are studied within the envelope function formalism. Spin-orbit interactions, caused by…
