State of the Art of Continuous and Atomistic Modeling of Electromechanical Properties of Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Abstract

The main intent of this paper is to present an exhaustive description of the most relevant mathematical models for the electromechanical properties of heterostructure quantum dots. Models are applied both to wurtzite and zincblende quantum dot due to the relevance they have shown for optoelectronic applications. In addition to a complete overview of the continuous and atomistic models for the electromechanical fields, analytical results will be presented for some relevant approximations, some of which are unpublished, such as models in cylindrical approximation or a cubic approximation for the transformation of a zincblende parametrization to a wurtzite one and vice versa. All analytical models will be supported by a wide range of numerical results, most of which are also compared with experimental measurements.

Fluorescent-Nanoparticle-Impregnated Nanocomposite Polymeric Gels for Biosensing and Drug Delivery Applications

“…In the event that an appropriate LMWG is not readily accessible, it may become imperative to engage in the process of synthesizing it. The process of synthesis commonly entails the creation of a precursor molecule that has the ability to undergo self-assembly, resulting in the formation of the intended gelator structure [ 93 , 94 ]. The gelator’s chemical structure and functional groups can be modified in order to achieve compatibility with the QDs and promote their integration into the hydrogel network.…”

Electrical, Optical, and Transport Properties of Semiconductors

“…2D materials like Molibdenum or Tungsten Disulphide retains excellent electrical transport even at the monolayer level, and their deep study according to different atmospheric environment [7] is of enormous interest for the future development of digital electronics and of all applications based on it such as artificial intelligence [8]. Regarding 0D nanomaterials the three papers [9][10][11] mainly focused on the very important topic of modelling quantum dots constituted by III-V elements with a special dedication possible electromechanical coupling possibly present in flexible displays electronics like in the Samsung high quality products series Zflip-Zfold.…”
