Calculating the optical properties of multidimensional heterostructures: Application to the modeling of quaternary quantum well lasers

Emission characteristics of quantum dots in planar microcavities

“…The conduction-and valence-band in-plane and normal to the plane masses were calculated for this quantum well width, assuming 50% InAs contents, using an eight band Kane model, and taking into account both nonparabolicity and lattice-mismatch strain effects. 28 We find for the electron: m e = 0.0630, m …”

Spin-Based Quantum Dot Qubits

“…where all the parameters used within the matrices are given by Refs (Bimberg et al, 1999;Gershoni et al, 1993;Saada, 1989). In our study, we have considered two ellipsoidal caps QDs made with InAs which are separated by a distance D as illustrated in Fig.1.…”

“…The circular light polarization along the direction [110] as a function of the energy gap for different interdot distances and width-to-height ratio with fixed dot height h = 2.1nm and elongation e = 1.4 in the absence of an external magnetic field. Gershoni et al, 1993;Pryor et al, 1997;Pryor, 1998), among others. Although, k · p is used to describe single electron/hole wavefunctions in heterostructures, all the other above mentioned algorithms can also solve Schrodinger equation in heterostructures with a large number of electrons/holes.…”

Relaxation of a kinetic hole due to carrier-carrier scattering in multisubband single-quantum-well semiconductors

“…The E-k diagrams and the confined wave functions where computed following Ref. 22. The particle masses at the ⌫ point ͑kϭ0͒ and Coulomb matrix elements were extracted from these data.…”

“…Calculations of the single-particle noninteracting E-k dispersion curve, as well as the confined part of the envelope function, were made by following the k•p method of Gershoni et al 22 They used eight zone center Bloch waves (͉S↓͘,͉X↓͘,͉Y ↓͘,͉Z↓͘,͉S↑͘,͉X↑͘,͉Y ↑͘,͉Z↑͘) with the confined part of the envelope given as…”
