The recent progress in integrated quantum optics has set the stage for the development of
an integrated platform for quantum information processing with photons, with potential …

A review is given of theoretical concepts and experimental results on spontaneous formation
of periodically ordered nanometer-scale structures on crystal surfaces. Thermodynamic …

The strain distribution in and around pyramidal InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD's) on a thin
wetting layer fabricated recently with molecular-beam epitaxy, is simulated numerically. For …

In the present review we summarize original results where 1) we have experimentally
discovered a novel class of spontaneously ordered nanostructures, namely equilibrium …

Carrier relaxation and recombination in self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD's) is
investigated by photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE), and time-resolved PL …

The general trend in modern solid state physics and technology is to make things smaller.
The size of key elements in modern devices approaches the nanometer scale, for both …

The electronic structure of lens-shaped self-assembled quantum dots is studied as a
function of the dot size, the confining potential, and the magnetic field. The parabolic …

We calculate the electronic structures of pyramidal quantum dots with supercells containing
250 000 atoms, using spin-orbit-coupled, nonlocal, empirical pseudopotentials. We compare …

▪ Abstract Highly strained semiconductors grow epitaxially on mismatched substrates in the
Stranski-Krastanow growth mode, wherein islands are formed after a few monolayers of …

Visible-stimulated emission in a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) laser structure has been
demonstrated. Red-emitting, self-assembled QDs of highly strained InAlAs have been grown …
