We describe novel excitons in quantum dots by allowing for an interaction with a Fermi sea of electrons. We argue that these excitons can be realized very simply with self-assembled quantum dots, using the wetting layer as host for the…
A variant of the Anderson model, that describes hybridization between localized state (c-state) of a quantum dot and a Fermi sea conduction band, is investigated. We demonstrate that, as a function of the hybridization parameter v, the…
We describe theoretically novel excitons in self-assembled quantum dots interacting with a two-dimensional electron gas in the wetting layer. In the presence of the Fermi sea, the optical lines become strongly voltage-dependent. If the…
We study theoretically the coherent nonlinear optical response of doped semiconductors with partially occupied subbands. When the Fermi energy of an occupied subband approaches the exciton level of an upper subband, the absorption spectrum…
The interplay between the coupling of an interacting quantum dot to a conduction band and its connection to localized levels has been studied in a triple quantum dot arrangement. The electronic Dicke effect, resulting from quasi-resonant…
Fermi-edge absorption theory predicting the spectrum, A(\omega)\propto \omega^{-2\delta_0/\pi+\delta^2_0/\pi^2}, relies on the assumption that scattering phase, \delta_0, is frequency-independent. Dependence of \delta_0 on \omega becomes…
We report the direct observation of coupling between a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot and a wetting layer, based on strong diamagnetic shifts of many-body exciton states using magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy. An extremely…
We analyze the optically induced Kondo effect in the absorption spectrum for a quantum dot with an even number of electrons, for which the Kondo effect does not occur in the ground state. The Kondo exchange couplings generated for…
We study carrier interaction induced many-body effects on the excitonic optical properties of highly photoexcited one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wire systems by solving the dynamically screened Bethe-Salpeter equation using realistic…
Electron capture and emission by Coulomb scattering in self-assembled quantum dot (QD) devices is studied theoretically. While the dependence of the Coulomb scattering (Auger) rates on the local wetting layer electron density has been a…
We calculate, as a function of temperature and conduction band electron density, the optical absorption of a weakly n-doped, idealized semiconductor quantum well. In particular, we focus on the absorption band due to the formation of a…
We study Fermi edge singularities in photo-absorption spectra of generic mesoscopic systems such as quantum dots or nanoparticles. We predict deviations from macroscopic-metallic behavior and propose experimental setups for the observation…
The interaction between a single confined spin and the spins of a Fermionic reservoir leads to one of the most spectacular phenomena of many body physics -- the Kondo effect. Here we report the observation of Kondo correlations in optical…
Using different techniques, and Fermi-liquid relationships, we calculate the variation with applied magnetic field (up to second order) of the zero-temperature equilibrium conductance through a quantum dot described by the impurity Anderson…
In some metals containing a sub-lattice of rare earth or actinide ions, free local $f$ spins at high temperatures dissolve into the sea of quantum conduction electrons at low temperatures, where they become mobile excitations. Once mobile,…
We have demonstrated surface-plasmon induced change in spontaneous emission rate in the ultraviolet regime at ~ 375-380 nm, using AlN/GaN quantum dots (QD). Using time-resolved and continuous-wave photoluminescence measurements, the…
Chemical adsorption of the species at semiconductor surfaces is analyzed showing the existence of the two contributions to adsorption energy: bond creation and charge transfer. It is shown that the energy of quantum surface states is…
We investigate theoretically the spatial dependence of the linear absorption spectra of single and coupled semiconductor quantum dots, where the strong three-dimensional quantum confinement leads to an overall enhancement of Coulomb…
A single confined spin interacting with a solid-state environment has emerged as one of the fundamental paradigms of mesoscopic physics. In contrast to standard quantum optical systems, decoherence that stems from these interactions can in…
The photon-absorption edge in a weakly interacting one-dimensional electron gas is studied, treating backscattering of conduction electrons from the core hole exactly. Close to threshold, there is a power-law singularity in the absorption,…
