Journal ArticleDOI
Excitons, biexcitons, and trions in self-assembled "In,Ga…As/ GaAs quantum dots: Recombination energies, polarization, and radiative lifetimes versus dot height
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the height dependence of recombination energies, polarization, and radiative lifetimes of the optical transitions of various excitonic complexes: neutral excitons, negatively charged trions, and biexcitons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Searching for alloy configurations with target physical properties: impurity design via a genetic algorithm inverse band structure approach.
S. V. Dudiy,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: This work uses the "inverse band structure" approach in which it first specifies a desired target physical property (such as the deepest nitrogen level, or lowest strain configuration), and then searches, via genetic algorithm, for the alloy atomic configurations that have this property.
Journal Article
Hidden spin polarization in inversion-symmetric bulk crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that spin polarization due to spin-orbit coupling requires broken inversion symmetry, rather than global space-group asymmetry, and that a hitherto overlooked form of spin polarization should also exist in centrosymmetric structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure of LiZnN: Interstitial insertion rule
TL;DR: The s,p, and d components of the electronic charge density at the tetrahedral interstitial sites of the zinc-blende structure are shown to play a decisive role in understanding quantitatively these distortions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordered-vacancy-compound semiconductors: Pseudocubic CdIn 2 Se 4
James E. Bernard,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: Using all-electron mixed-basis electronic-structure techniques, an ordered array of vacancies in CdIn/sub 2/Se/sub 4/ is studied, which forms a natural bridge between crystal and impurity physics.
