The radiative recombination of electron-hole pairs represents a great challenge to the photon-to-charge efficiency in photocell. In this paper, we visit the radiative recombination rate (RRR) in a quantum photocell with or without three…
Previous single-particle spectroscopic studies of colloidal quantum dots have indicated a significant spread in biexciton lifetimes across an ensemble of nominally identical nanocrystals. It has been speculated that in addition to…
Because of their conveniently tunable optoelectronic properties, semiconductor nanocrystals have become established components for new devices and emergent technologies, in a broad range of applications which include agriculture, medicine,…
Exciton fine-structure splittings within quantum dots introduce phase differences between the two biexciton decay paths that greatly reduce the entanglement of photon pairs generated via biexciton recombination. We analyze this problem in…
We present new experimentally measured and theoretically calculated rate coefficients for the electron-ion recombination of W$^{18+}$([Kr] $4d^{10}$ $4f^{10}$) forming W$^{17+}$. At low electron-ion collision energies, the merged-beam rate…
Single-layer quantum dot gate potential causes type-II band alignment, i.e. electrostatically confines holes and repels electrons, or vice versa. Hence, the confinement of excitons in gated type II quantum dots involves a delicate balance…
The demonstration of degeneracy of the exciton spin states is an important step towards the production of entangled photons pairs from the biexciton cascade. We measure the fine structure of exciton and biexciton states for a large number…
The electronic and emission properties of correlated multi-particle states are studied theoretically using ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ and the configuration interaction methods on a well-known and measured GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots as a test…
In quantum dots (QDs) the Auger recombination is a non-radiative process, where the electron-hole recombination energy is transferred to an additional carrier. It has been studied mostly in colloidal QDs, where the Auger recombination time…
A detailed analysis of the electro-optical response of single as well as coupled semiconductor quantum dots is presented. This is based on a realistic ---i.e., fully tridimensional--- description of Coulomb-correlated few-electron states,…
The spin-flip rate that couples dark and bright excitons in self-assembled quantum dots is obtained from time-resolved spontaneous emission measurements in a modified local density of optical states. Employing this technique, we can…
The basic approach for measuring electron-ion recombination rate coefficients in merged-beams electron-ion collision experiments at heavy-ion storage rings is outlined. As an example experimental results for the low temperature…
We develop a Maxwell-Schroedinger formalism in order to describe the radiative interaction mechanism between semiconductor quantum dots. We solve the Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field coupled to the polarization field of a…
The charge density and pair correlation function of three interacting electrons confined within a two-dimensional disc-like hard wall quantum dot are calculated by full numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formation of a…
We survey the results of a long-term study of the process of radiative recombination. A rigorous theory of nonrelativistic electron radiative recombination with a hydrogen-like ion is used to calculate the total cross section of the…
We report quantum Monte Carlo calculations of biexciton binding energies in ideal two-dimensional bilayer systems with isotropic electron and hole masses. We have also calculated exciton-exciton interaction potentials, and pair distribution…
We compute the concurrence of the polarization-entangled photon pairs generated by the biexciton cascade decay of a semiconductor quantum dot. We show how a cavity-induced increase of the photon rate emission reduces the detrimental effect…
We present a comprehensive photoluminescence study of exchange interaction in self-assembled CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. We exploit the presence of multiple charge states in the photoluminescence spectra of single quantum dots to analyze…
We have used magneto-photoluminescence measurements to establish that InP/GaAs quantum dots have a type-II (staggered) band alignment. The average excitonic Bohr radius and the binding energy are estimated to be 15nm and 1.5 meV…
We compare the asymmetry-induced exchange splitting delta_1 of the bright-exciton ground-state doublet in self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots, determined by Faraday rotation, with its homogeneous linewidth gamma, obtained from the…
