Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book confirms the high level of international interest in understanding and control the properties of semiconductor quantum-dot structures and devices. It highlights the self-assembled (self-forming) type of quantum dots that result from the islanding transition in strained heteroepitaxy of III-V semiconductors. It also features nanocrystals, colloidal dots and biological applications. Technological applications span quantum-dot laser diodes, quantum-dot optical amplifiers, biosensing applications, infrared photodetectors, photovoltaic devices, quantum cellular automata and magnetic semiconductors. It reports the development by researchers at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz of a mid-infrared, vertical cavity surface emitting quantum dot (QD) using the lead salt compounds PbSe and PbEuTe; optical gain and stimulated emission in colloidal quantum dots and the use of quantum dots for optical amplifiers reported by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder. Topics include: theory, modeling and simulations; nanocrystals, colloidal dots and biological applications; quantum-dot-based devices and transport studies; carrier dynamics and interactions and energy relaxation and single-dot spectroscopy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on materials issues related to Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 and CdTe-based polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic solar cells and related oxides and chalcogenides. Phase equilibrium and thermochemical kinetic aspects of the absorber layer formation of CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 are emphasized and several papers on micro-analytical analysis report on detailed structural properties of thin films. The use of flexible plastic or metal foil substrates as an alternative to glass is addressed in terms of solar-cell performance and limitations imposed by the nature of the substrates. Properties of defects and interfaces in CdTe and CIGSS are highlighted using electrical, optical, and micro-analytical tools. While film properties are correlated to device physics, controversy still exists on the detailed operation of both CdTe and CIGSS devices. Topics include: materials and synthesis; thin films on alternate substrates; defects; growth and junction formation; surfaces and interfaces and film and device characterization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor quantum dots represent one of the fields of solid state physics that have experienced the greatest progress in the last decade. Recent years have witnessed the discovery of many striking new aspects of the optical response and electronic transport phenomena. This book surveys this progress in the physics, optical spectroscopy and application-oriented research of semiconductor quantum dots. It focuses especially on excitons, multi-excitons, their dynamical relaxation behaviour and their interactions with the surroundings of a semiconductor quantum dot. Recent developments in fabrication techniques are reviewed and potential applications discussed. This book will serve not only as an introductory textbook for graduate students but also as a concise guide for active researchers.

Download or read book Semiconductor Quantum Dots written by Ladislaus B nyai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor Quantum Dots presents an overview of the background and recent developments in the rapidly growing field of ultrasmall semiconductor microcrystallites, in which the carrier confinement is sufficiently strong to allow only quantized states of the electrons and holes. The main emphasis of this book is the theoretical analysis of the confinement induced modifications of the optical and electronic properties of quantum dots in comparison with extended materials. The book develops the theoretical background material for the analysis of carrier quantum-confinement effects, introduces the different confinement regimes for relative or center-of-mass motion quantization of the electron-hole-pairs, and gives an overview of the best approximation schemes for each regime. A detailed discussion of the carrier states in quantum dots is presented and surface polarization instabilities are analyzed, leading to the self-trapping of carriers near the surface of the dots. The influence of spin-orbit coupling on the quantum-confined carrier states is discussed. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of small and large quantum dots are studied in detail and the influence of the quantum-dot size distribution in many realistic samples is outlined. Phonons in quantum dots as well as the influence of external electric or magnetic fields are also discussed. Last but not least the recent developments dealing with regular systems of quantum dots are also reviewed. All things included, this is an important piece of work on semiconductor quantum dots not to be dismissed by serious researchers and physicists.

This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanical properties of small volumes of materials (such as thin films and patterned structures) can be very different from larger volumes, especially in the area of dislocation behavior. This text contains a selection of 31 papers from the April 2001 symposium devoted to new methods of dislocation modeling. Topics include mechanisms of plastic deformation in heteroepitaxial, multilayered, and polycrystalline thin films; as well as in 3D mesostructures such as epitaxial islands, semiconducting devices, and microcrystallites. The organizers of the symposium had the particular aim of stimulating exchange between experimental work, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulations.

Download or read book Quantum Dots written by Peter A. Ling and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantum dot is a particle of matter so small that the addition or removal of an electron changes its properties in some useful way. All atoms are quantum dots, but multi-molecular combinations can have this characteristic. In biochemistry, quantum dots are called redox groups. In nanotechnology, they are called quantum bits or qubits. Quantum dots typically have dimensions measured in nanometers, where one nanometer is 10-9 meter or a millionth of a millimetre. The fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, and electronics are all of interest to researchers in nanotechnology. Other applications of quantum dots include nanomachines, neural networks, and high-density memory or storage media. Research is being carried out on nano-crystals, self-assembled dots, and gated structures. This book presents leading-edge research from around the world.
