This multidisciplinary book provides up-to-date coverage of carrier and spin dynamics and energy transfer and structural interaction among nanostructures. Cover

This is an overview of different models and mechanisms developed to describe the capture and relaxation of carriers in quantum-dot systems. Despite their undisp

Special focus is given to the optical and electronic properties of single quantum dots due to their potential applications in devices operating with single elec

This volume is concerned with the crystal growth, optical properties, and optical device application of the self-formed quantum dot, which is one of the major c

Since the early 1990s, quantum dots have become an integral part of research in solid state physics for their fundamental properties that mimic the behavior of
