A comprehensive review of cutting-edge solid state research, focusing on quantum dot nanostructures, this book features a broad range of techniques for fabrication of these nano-structured semiconductors and control of their quantum properties. It is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers new to this field.
In three decades since their discovery, quantum dots have emerged as a rich and interesting field of experimental and theoretical study, with a lot of potentially important practical and commercial uses. They are an intermediate stage between the microscopic "pure" quantum systems, and more macroscale condensed matter phenomena. This book is a comprehensive resource for anyone who is interested in the best current research on quantum dots. It is a compendium of various articles … more
