complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (cmos) technology has been the industry standard to implement very large scale integrated (vlsi) devices for the last two decades. due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. quantum-dot cellular...

interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. in this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect ingaas/algaas quantum dot (scdqd). the simulation is based on the imaginary time...

We study the coupling between a photonic crystal cavity and an off-resonant quantum dot under resonant excitation of the cavity or the quantum dot. Linewidths of the quantum dot and the cavity as a function of the excitation laser power are measured. We show that the linewidth of the quantum dot, measured by observing the cavity emission, is significantly broadened compared to the theoretical e...

The combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on correlation energy in a triplet state of two electron spherical quantum dot with square well potential is computed. The result is presented taking GaAs dot as an example. Our result shows the correlation energies are i)negative in the triplet state contrast to the singlet state ii) it increases with increase in pressure  iii)further...

Full counting statistics of electron transport is a powerful diagnostic tool for probing the nature of quantum transport beyond what is obtainable from the average current or conductance measurement alone. In particular, the non-Markovian dynamics of quantum dot molecule plays an important role in the nonequilibrium electron tunneling processes. It is thus necessary to understand the non-Markov...

We present investigations of the optical properties of stacked InGaN quantum dot layers and demonstrate their advantage over single quantum dot layer structures. Measurements were performed on structures containing a single layer with quantum dots or threefold stacked quantum dot layers, respectively. A superlinear increase of the quantum dot related photoluminescence is detected with increasin...

The device characteristics of semiconductor quantum dot lasers have been improved with progress in active layer structures. Self-assembly formed InAs quantum dots grown on GaAs had been intensively promoted in order to achieve quantum dot lasers with superior device performances. In the process of growing high-density InAs/GaAs quantum dots, bimodal size occurs due to large mismatch and other f...
