The electronic structure of InAs quantum dots covered with the GaAs(1-y)Sb(y) strain reducing layer has been studied using the k.p theory. We explain previous experimental observations of the red shift of the photoluminescence emission with increasing y and its blue shift with increasing excitation power. For y>0.19 type-II dots are formed with holes localized in the GaAsSb close to the dot base; two segments at opposite sides of the dot, forming molecular-like states, result from the piezoelectric field. We also propose an experiment that could be used to identify the hole localization using a vertical electric field.

We have studied theoretically the type-II GaAsSb capped InAs quantum dots for two structures differing in the composition of the capping layer, being either (i) constant or (ii) with Sb accumulation above the apex of the dot. We have found that the h
ole states are segmented and resemble the states in the quantum dot molecules. The two-hole states form singlet and triplet with the splitting energy of 4{mu}eV / 325{mu}eV for the case (i) / (ii). We have also tested the possibility to tune the splitting by vertically applied magnetic field. As the predicted tunability range was limited, we propose an approach for its enhancement.
We investigate the effects of point charge defects on the single particle electronic structure, emission energies, fine structure splitting and oscillator strengths of excitonic transitions in strained In$_{0.6}$Ga$_{0.4}$As/GaAs and strain-free GaAs
/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As quantum dots. We find that the charged defects significantly modify the single particle electronic structure and excitonic spectra in both strained and strain-free structures. However, the excitonic fine structure splitting, polarization anisotropy and polarization direction in strained quantum dots remain nearly unaffected, while significant changes are observed for strain-free quantum dots.
We investigate the electronic structure of the InAs/InP quantum dots using an atomistic pseudopotential method and compare them to those of the InAs/GaAs QDs. We show that even though the InAs/InP and InAs/GaAs dots have the same dot material, their
electronic structure differ significantly in certain aspects, especially for holes: (i) The hole levels have a much larger energy spacing in the InAs/InP dots than in the InAs/GaAs dots of corresponding size. (ii) Furthermore, in contrast with the InAs/GaAs dots, where the sizeable hole $p$, $d$ intra-shell level splitting smashes the energy level shell structure, the InAs/InP QDs have a well defined energy level shell structure with small $p$, $d$ level splitting, for holes. (iii) The fundamental exciton energies of the InAs/InP dots are calculated to be around 0.8 eV ($sim$ 1.55 $mu$m), about 200 meV lower than those of typical InAs/GaAs QDs, mainly due to the smaller lattice mismatch in the InAs/InP dots. (iii) The widths of the exciton $P$ shell and $D$ shell are much narrower in the InAs/InP dots than in the InAs/GaAs dots. (iv) The InAs/GaAs and InAs/InP dots have a reversed light polarization anisotropy along the [100] and [1$bar{1}$0] directions.
We present here results of atomistic theory of electrons confined by metallic gates in a single layer of transition metal dichalcogenides. The electronic states are described by the tight-binding model and computed using a computational box including
up to million atoms with periodic boundary conditions and parabolic confining potential due to external gates embedded in it. With this methodology applied to MoS2, we find a twofold degenerate energy spectrum of electrons confined in the two non-equivalent K-valleys by the metallic gates as well as six-fold degenerate spectrum associated with Q-valleys. We compare the electron spectrum with the energy levels of electrons confined in GaAs/GaAlAs and in self-assembled quantum dots. We discuss the role of spin splitting and topological moments on the K and Q valley electronic states in quantum dots with sizes comparable to experiment.
We present here an atomistic theory of the electronic and optical properties of hexagonal InAsP quantum dots in InP nanowires in the wurtzite phase. These self-assembled quantum dots are unique in that their heights, shapes, and diameters are well kn
own. Using a combined valence-force-field, tight-binding, and configuration-interaction approach we perform atomistic calculations of single-particle states and excitonic, biexcitonic and trion complexes as well as emission spectra as a function of the quantum dot height, diameter and As versus P concentration. The atomistic tight-binding parameters for InAs and InP in the wurtzite crystal phase were obtained by ab initio methods corrected by empirical band gaps. The low energy electron and hole states form electronic shells similar to parabolic or cylindrical quantum confinement, only weakly affected by hexagonal symmetry and As fluctuations. The relative alignment of the emission lines from excitons, trions and biexcitons agrees with that for InAs/InP dots in the zincblende phase in that biexcitons and positive trions are only weakly bound. The random distribution of As atoms leads to dot-to-dot fluctuations of a few meV for the single-particle states and the spectral lines. Due to the high symmetry of hexagonal InAsP nanowire quantum dots the exciton fine structure splitting is found to be small, of the order a few $mu$eV with significant random fluctuations in accordance with experiments.
