Optics of Semiconductors and Their Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 146))

Abstract

An overview will be given of similarities and differences in the optical properties of two kinds of quantum-confined II–VI semiconductors, nanocrystals and epitaxially grown islands. In both systems, Coulomb correlation energies have been observed which are up to ten times larger than those in III–V semiconductor materials. This peculiarity makes II–VI semiconductor quantum dots interesting objects for studying few-particle states. In this review we focus on binding energies and recombination dynamics of the elementary excitations exciton, biexciton and trion in three-dimensionally confined CdSe and CdS.
