Role of Coulomb Correlations in the Optical Spectra of Semiconductor Quantum Dots
Role of Coulomb Correlations in the Optical Spectra of Semiconductor Quantum Dots
We present a consistent theoretical description of few-particle effects in the optical spectra of semiconductor quantum dots, based on a direct-diagonalization approach. We show that, because of the strong Coulomb interaction among electrons and holes, each configuration of the confined few-particle system leads to its characteristic signature in the optical …
