We present results of correlated pseudopotential calculations of an exciton in a pair of vertically stacked InGaAs/GaAs dots. Competing effects of strain, geometry, and band mixing lead to many unexpected features missing in contemporary models. The first four excitonic states are all optically active at small interdot separation, due to the broken symmetry of the single-particle states. We quantify the degree of entanglement of the exciton wavefunctions and show its sensitivity to interdot separation. We suggest ways to spectroscopically identify and maximize the entanglement of exciton states.

The degree of entanglement of an electron with a hole in a vertically coupled self-assembled dot molecule is shown to be tunable by an external electric field. Using atomistic pseudopotential calculations followed by a configuration interaction many-
body treatment of correlations, we calculate the electronic states, degree of entanglement and optical absorption. We offer a novel way to spectroscopically detect the magnitude of electric field needed to maximize the entanglement.
We investigate the basic quantum mechanical processes behind non-proportional response of scintillators to incident radiation responsible for reduced resolution. For this purpose, we conduct a comparative first principles study of quasiparticle spect
ra on the basis of the $G_0W_0$ approximation as well as absorption spectra and excitonic properties by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation for two important systems, NaI and SrI$_2$. The former is a standard scintillator material with well-documented non-proportionality while the latter has recently been found to exhibit a very proportional response. We predict band gaps for NaI and SrI$_2$ of 5.5 and 5.2 eV, respectively, in good agreement with experiment. Furthermore, we obtain binding energies for the groundstate excitons of 216 meV for NaI and 195$pm$25 meV for SrI$_2$. We analyze the degree of exciton anisotropy and spatial extent by means of a coarse-grained electron-hole pair-correlation function. Thereby, it is shown that the excitons in NaI differ strongly from those in SrI$_2$ in terms of structure and symmetry, even if their binding energies are similar. Furthermore, we show that quite unexpectedly the spatial extents of the highly anisotropic low-energy excitons in SrI$_2$ in fact exceed those in NaI by a factor of two to three in terms of the full width at half maxima of the electron-hole pair-correlation function.
The Li2SiO3 compound, a ternary electrolyte compound of Lithium-ion based batteries, exhibits unique geometric and band structures, an atom-dominated energy spectrum, charge densities distributions, atom and orbital-projected density of states, and s
trong optical responses. The state-of-the-art analysis, based on an ab-initio simulation, have successfully confirmed the concise physical/chemical picture and the orbital bonding in Li-O and Si-O bonds. Additionally, the unusual optical response behavior includes a large redshift of the onset frequency due to the extremely strong excitonic effect, the polarization of optical properties along three-directions, 22 optical excitations structures and the most prominent plasmon mode in terms of the dielectric functions, energy loss functions, absorption coefficients, and reflectance spectra. The close connections of electronic and optical properties can identify a specific orbital hybridization for each distinct excitation channel. The developed theoretical framework will be very appropriate for fully comprehending the diverse phenomena of cathode/electrolyte/anode materials in ion-based batteries.
The formation and disassociation of excitons plays a crucial role in any photovoltaic or photocatalytic application. However, excitonic effects are seldom considered in materials discovery studies due to the monumental computational cost associated w
ith the examination of these properties. Here, we study the excitonic properties of nearly 50 photocatalysts using state-of-the-art Bethe-Salpeter formalism. These $sim$ 50 materials were recently recognized as promising photocatalysts for CO$_2$ reduction through a data-driven screening of 68,860 materials. Here, we propose three screening criteria based on the optical properties of these materials, taking excitonic effects into account, to further down select 6 materials. Remarkably we find a strong correlation between the exciton binding energies obtained from the Bethe-Salpeter formalism and those obtained from the computationally much less-expensive Wannier-Mott model for these chemically diverse $sim$ 50 materials. This work presents a new paradigm towards the inclusion of excitonic effects in future materials discovery for solar-energy harvesting applications.
We observe dressed states and quantum interference effects in a strongly driven three-level quantum dot ladder system. The effect of a strong coupling field on one dipole transition is measured by a weak probe field on the second dipole transition us
ing differential reflection. When the coupling energy is much larger than both the homoge-neous and inhomogeneous linewidths an Autler-Townes splitting is observed. Striking differences are observed when the transitions resonant with the strong and weak fields are swapped, particularly when the coupling energy is nearly equal to the measured linewidth. This result is attributed to quantum interference: a modest destructive or constructive interference is observed depending on the pump / probe geometry. The data demonstrate that coher-ence of both the bi-exciton and the exciton is maintained in this solid-state system, even under intense illumina-tion, which is crucial for prospects in quantum information processing and non-linear optical devices.
