Crystal structure imperfections in solids often act as efficient carrier trapping centres, which,
when suitably isolated, act as sources of single photon emission. The best known examples …

Atomic monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides represent an emerging material
platform for the implementation of ultracompact quantum light emitters via strain …

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the resonant emission of single InAs/GaAs
quantum dots in a planar microcavity. Due to the presence of at least one residual charge in …

A systematic study of the emission spectra of single InAsP nanowire quantum dots in
position-controlled InP photonic nanowire waveguides is presented. Using excitation power …

Defect-decorated single-wall carbon nanotubes have shown rapid growing potential for
imaging, sensing, and the development of room-temperature single-photon sources. The …

Quantum-dot-based spin-photon interfaces are highly sought systems to implement
deterministic photon-photon gates as well as to generate photonic cluster states. This …

We study trapped single excitons in a monolayer semiconductor with respect to their
temperature stability, spectral diffusion and decay dynamics. In a mechanically exfoliated …

Absorption spectra of neutral, negatively, and positively charged semiconductor quantum
dots are studied theoretically. We provide an overview of the main energetic structure …

We study the biexciton formation process in a single CdTe/ZnTe quantum dot. Consistently
with previous studies, we find subquadratic dependence of the biexciton photoluminescence …

Photoluminescence from bulk HfS 2 grown by the chemical vapor transport method is
reported. A series of emission lines is apparent at low temperature in the energy range of 1.4 …
