Negative Trions Trapped by a Spherical Parabolic Quantum Dot

In this paper, a negatively charged exciton trapped by a spherical parabolic quantum dot has been investigated. The energy spectra of low-lying states are calculated by means of matrix diagonalization. The important feature of the low-lying states of the negatively charged excitons in a spherical quantum dot is obtained via an analysis of the energy spectra.     

Binding Energy of an Off-Center D- in a Spherical Quantum Dot

Using the method of matrix diagonalization, we investigate an off-center D^- in a spherical quantum dot （QD） subjected to a parabolic potential confinement. We discuss the effect of the position of an impurity in the QD on the binding energy of the D system, Eurthermore, we compare a negatively charged donor D^- with a neutral donor DO confined by a spherical QD with a parabolic potentiM. The results have clearly demonstrate the so-called quantum size effect. The binding energy is dependent on the confining potential hw0 and the impurity ion distance D.     

Shallow Donor Impurity Ground State in a GaAs/AlAs Spherical Quantum Dot within an Electric Field

Using the configuration-integration methods （CI） [Phys. Rev. B 45 （1992） 19], we report the results of the Hydrogenie-impurity ground state in a GaAs/AIAs spherical quantum dot under an electric field. We discuss the variations of the binding energies of the Hydrogenic-impurity ground state as a function of the position of impurity D, the radius R of the quantum dot, and also as a function of electric field F. We find that the ground energy and binding energy of impurity placed anywhere depend strongly on the position of impurity. Also, electric field can largely change the Hydrogenic-impurity ground state only limiting to the big radius of quantum dot. And the differences in energy level and binding energy are observed from the center donor and off-center donor.

Donor Centers in a Gaussian Potential

We study a neutral donor center （D^0） and a negatively charged donor center （D^-） trapped by a quantum dot, which is subjected to a Gaussian potential confinement. Calculations are made by using the method of numerical diagonalization of Hamiltonian within the effective-mass approximation. The dependence of the ground state of the neutral shallow donor and the negatively charged donor on the dot size and the potential depth is investigated. The same calculations performed with the parabolic approximation of the Gaussian potential lead to the results that are qualitatively and quantitatively different from each other.     

Binding Energy of D^- and D^0 Centers Confined by Spherical Quantum Dots

We calculate the energy E（ D^-） as functions of Gaussian potential size and depth, the same calculations as performed with the parabolic approximation. The dependence of the ground state of the neutral shallow donor and the negatively charged donor on the dot size and the potential depth is investigated.

Influences of a Side-Coupled Triple Quantum Dot on Kondo Transport Through a Quantum Dot

Kondo transport properties through a Kondo-type quantum dot (QD) with a side-coupled triple-QD structure are systematically investigated by using the non-equilibrium Green's function method. We firstly derive the formulae of the current, the linear conductance, the transmission coefficient, and the local density of states. Then we carry out the analytical and numerical studies and some universal conductance properties are obtained. It is shown that the number of the conductance valleys is intrinsically determined by the side-coupled QDs and at most equal to the number of the QDs included in theside-coupled structure in the asymmetric limit. In the process of forming the conductance valleys, the side-coupled QD system plays the dominant role while the couplings between the Kondo-type QD and the side-coupled structure play the subsidiary and indispensable roles. To testify the validity of the universal conductance properties, another different kinds of side-coupled triple-QD structures are considered. It should be emphasized that these universal properties are applicable in understanding this kind of systems with arbitrary many-QD side structures.     

Spectrum and Binding Energy of an Off-Center Hydrogenic Donor in aSpherical Quantum Dot

Off-center impurity effects in a spherical quantum dot are theoretically studied by degenerate perturbation method in strong confinement. The energy levels and binding energies are computed for the typical GaAs material as function of the donor position. The numerical results show the quantum size effect. We note that the energy levels and binding energies are not onlyrelated to the position of donor and the strength of confinement,but also related to the fold of degenerate states. We can see obviously that gaps will appear among the degenerate states and the splitting of energy levels and binding energies will appear as the position of the impurity is shifted away off the center.     

Hydrogenic Donor in a Spherical Quantum Dot with Different Confinements

Binding energies of a hydrogenic donor in a spherical GaAs quantum dot surrounded by Ga1-xA4xAs matrix are calculated. The results are presented for realistie barrier heights corresponding to different values of x （x 〈 0.4）. The calculations are performed under two different conditions： （i） a spherical dot with square well confinement and （ii） a dot with parabolic potential well confinement. The results show that （i） the donor ionization energies are always higher under parabolic confinement as compared to a dot of the same radius under square well confinement and （ii） the oscillator strengths coupling ground state with excited states are two orders larger under parabolic confinement. Our results are in agreement with the results of other researchers.     

A Polaron in a Quantum Dot Quantum Well

The polaron effect in a quantum dot quantum well (QDQW)system is investigated by using the perturbation method. Both the bound electron states outside and inside the shell well are taken into account . Numerical calculation on the CdS/HgS QDQW shows that the phonon correction to the electron ground state energy is quite significant and cannot be neglected.     

Dispersion Theory of Polaron in a Parabolic Quantum Dot at Finite Temperatures

By using the dispersion theory instead of the Fröhlich Hamiltonian, the polaron energy in a quantum dot with a parabolic confinement potential is investigated at finite temperatures. It is found that the self-trapping energy of the polaron decreases with the increasing temperature, and the temperature effect is more obvious in quantum dots with weaker confinement.     

Effect of Induced Transition on the Quantum Entanglement and Coherence in Two-Coupled Double Quantum Dot System

Studying quantum properties in solid-state systems is a significant avenue for research. In this scenario, double quantum dots appear as a versatile platform for technological breakthroughs in quantum computation and nanotechnology. This work inspects the thermal entanglement and quantum coherence in two-coupled DODs, where the system is exposed to an external stimulus that induces an electronic transition within each subsystem. The results show that the introduction of external stimulus induces a quantum level crossing that relies upon the Coulomb potential changing the degree of quantum entanglement and coherence of the system. Thus, the quantum properties of the system can be tuned by changing the transition frequency, leading to the enhancement of its quantum properties.     

Effects of Impurity on the Ground—State Transitions of a Quantum Dot in Strong Magnetic Field

The low-lying spectra of parabolic quantum dots with or without an impurity at the center are investigated.While it has been known that the electron-electron interaction leads to ground-state transitions on magic values of angular momentum in a magnetic field.We show,in this paper,that the implantation of an impurity ion at the center can either enhance or suppress such transitions,depending on whether it is an acceptor or a donor ion.

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Absorptions of a Donor Impurity in Spherical Quantum Dots

An investigation of the optical properties of a hydrogenic donor in spherical parabolic quantum dots has been performed by using the matrix diagonalization method. The optical absorption coefficient between the ground （L = 0） and the first excited state （L = 1） have been examined based on the computed energies and wave functions. The results are presented as a function of the incident photon energy for the different values of the confinement strength. These results show the effects of the quantum size and the impurity on the optical absorption coefficient of a donor impurity quantum dot.     

Anisotropy Effects on Polar Optical Vibrations in a Freestanding Wurtzite Cylindrical Quantum Dot

The properties of polar optical phonon vibrations in a quasi-zero- dimensional (Q0D) anisotropic wurtzite cylindrical quantum dot (QD) are analyzed based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model.The analytical electrostatic potentials of the phonon vibrations in the systems are deduced and solved exactly. The result shows that there exist four types of polar mixing optical phonon modes in the Q0D wurtzite cylindrical QD systems. The dispersive equations and electron-phonon coupling function for the quasi-confined-half-space (QC-HS) mixing modes are derived and discussed. It is found that once the radius or the height of the QD approach infinity, the dispersive equations of the QC-HS mixing modes in the Q0D cylindrical QD can naturally reduce to those of the QC and HS modes in Q2D QWs or Q1D QWWs systems. This has been analyzed reasonably from both of physical and mathematical viewpoints.

Charge Reconfiguration in Isolated Quantum Dot Arrays

A high level of tunability and control over arrays of quantum dots are key ingredients toward the goal of scalable‐based qubit architectures. Increasing array size simultaneously increases the parameter space and therefore the tuning complexity. The electron reconfiguration behavior of quantum dot arrays isolated from the electron reservoirs is studied experimentally. Isolating a quantum dot array from the reservoirs does not only enable a high degree of control over the tunnel couplings but at the same time drastically simplifies the stability diagrams for small numbers of electrons trapped in the array. Experimental results on double, triple, and quadruple quantum dot arrays are presented and complementary model calculations allow the identification of all transitions observed in the experiment. Highly tunable long‐range transitions are observed in isolated triple quantum dots and evidence of higher‐order cotunneling is found for the quadruple quantum dot array.
