Reducing the size of a coherently grown semiconductor cluster in
all three directions of space to a value below the de Broglie
wavelength of a charge carrier leads to complete quantization of
the energy levels, density of states, etc. Such quantum dots are
more similar to giant atoms in a dielectric cage than to classical
solids or semiconductors showing a dispersion of energy as a
function of wavevector. Their electronic and optical properties
depend strongly on their size and shape, i.e. on their geometry. By
designing the geometry by controlling the growth of QDs, absolutely
novel possibilities for material design leading to novel devices
are opened.
This multiauthor book written by world-wide recognized leaders
of their particular fields and edited by the recipient of the
Max-Born Award and Medal 2006 Professor Dieter Bimberg reports on
the state of the art of the growing of quantum dots, the theory of
self-organised growth, the theory of electronic and excitonic
states, optical properties and transport in a variety of materials.
It covers the subject from the early work beginning of the 1990s up
to 2006. The topics addressed in the book are the focus of research
in all leading semiconductor and optoelectronic device laboratories
of the world."
