Synopsis
Quantum dots are incredibly small spaces that hold a small number of electrons and constitute the new threshold of microelectronic or nanoelectronic devices. This important book explains the basic structure of quantum dots, how to produce them, their internal properties and electronic structure, and directly observed properties such as their response to light or electrodes. It also addresses physical effects occurring in dots, theoretical models, computational methods, and future applications.
Synopsis
This book covers many topics concerned with the man-made electronic systems called quantum dots, in particular: methods of creation, internal properties (electronic structure), directly observed properties (response to the experimental probes, e.g. light or electrodes), experimental methods and results, physical effects occuring in dots, theoretical models, computational methods, and future applications. The review part requires only basic knowledge on quantum mechanics and solid state physics.
Description
Includes bibliographical references (p. [165]-171) and index.
