Quantum Dots

In this book, leading experts on quantum dot theory and technology provide comprehensive reviews of all aspects of quantum dot systems. The following topics are covered: (1) energy states in quantum dots, including the effects of strain and many-body effects; (2) self-assembly and self-ordering of quantum dots in semiconductor systems; (3) growth, structures, and optical properties of III-nitride quantum dots; (4) quantum dot lasers.Contents:Low-Dimensional Systems (E Borovitskaya M S Shur)Energy States in Quantum Dots (A J Williamson)Self-Organized Quantum Dots (A R Woll et al.)Growth, Structures, and Optical Properties of III-Nitride Quantum Dots (D Huang et al.)Theory of Threshold Characteristics of Quantum Dot Lasers: Effect of Quantum Dot Parameter Dispersion (L V Asryan R A Suris)Applications of Quantum Dots in Semiconductor Lasers (N N Ledentsov et al.)Readership: Scientists, engineers and graduate students working in the area of semiconductor materials and devices.Key Features:This is the only book which brings together topics as diverse as water, random searches, percolation, and trafficNo similar titles with such diversity of themes available in the marketMost of the contributors are already well known in their fields
