Enhanced photon emission from site- and energy-controlled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots coupled to GaAs nanowires

InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a GaAs substrate are very useful photon sources, including single and entangled photons, due to their unperturbed environment. Contrary to self-formed QDs, those grown in pyramidal pits can be well controlled in p ...

Exciton migration in two-dimensional materials

Giovanni Consalvo Cistaro

Excitons play an essential role in the optical response of two-dimensional materials. These are bound states showing up in the band gaps of many-body systems and are conceived as quasiparticles formed by an electron and a hole. By performing real-time simu ...
