Excitonic States in Medium-Size Quantum Dots
arXiv:0803.2907 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.035329
Abstract
In a quantum dot with dozens of electrons, an approximation beyond Tamm-Dankoff is used to construct the quantum states with an additional electron-hole pair, i.e. the "excitonic" states. The lowest states mimic the non-interacting spectrum, but with excitation gaps renormalized by Coulomb interactions. At higher excitation energies, the computed density of energy levels shows an exponential increase with energy. In the interband absorption, we found a background level in the quasicontinuum of states rising linearly with the excitation energy. Above this background, there are distinct peaks related to single resonances or to groups of many states with small interband dipole moments.
