The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

The variational method complemented with the use of explicitly correlated Gaussian basis
functions is one of the most powerful approaches currently used for calculating the …

We present an overview of the theoretical background and experimental re sults in the
rapidly developing field of semiconductor quantum dots-systems 8 6 of dimensions as small …

Investigations of emergent symmetry breaking phenomena occurring in small finite-size
systems are reviewed, with a focus on the strongly correlated regime of electrons in two …

Quantum dots are examples of nanostructures which are attracting much interest in the fields
of both pure and applied physics. The smallest dots currently being fabricated contain N< 10 …

To understand the electrodynamics of mesoscopic media it is in general necessary to take
into account local-field effects. This article presents a review of the role played by local fields …

The purpose of this review is to survey the status of the theory and experiment which can
contribute to our knowledge of plasmon excitations in synthetic semiconductor …

The evolution of charging energies of few-electron artifical atoms (quantum dots) with
magnetic field is calculated and compared with results of the single-electron capacitance …

Spin density functional theory is used to calculate the ground state electronic structures of
circular parabolic quantum dots. We find that such dots either have a spin configuration …

We study the interaction of an electron with an exciton in a disk-shaped quantum dot
subjected to magnetic and electric fields perpendicular to the plane of the dot. The …
