US-Mexico Cooperative Research: Theoretical Studies of the Optical & Electronic Properties of Size Quantized Semiconducting Structures such as Quantum Wells, Wires & Dots

这个美墨项目将支持伊利诺伊理工学院的Harold Spector教授与墨西哥国立自治大学(UNAM)的Marcelo del Castillo-Mussot教授开展研究合作。研究人员打算研究半导体纳米结构的性质，如量子井、量子线和量子点。更具体地说，他们将研究高度受限系统中电子和激子的能量和波函数。他们计划研究的系统包括量子阱中的屏蔽激子和量子点中与氢杂质相关的电子态。这些系统在半导体多层膜的制备中至关重要，由此产生的结构负责提供优异性能的新一代电子和光电设备。对于这个项目，美方将专注于分析计算，而墨西哥方将提供大量的数值和计算资源。

9979237SpectorThis US-Mexico project will support Prof. Harold Spector of Illinois Institute of Technology in a research collaboration with Prof. Marcelo del Castillo-Mussot of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). The researchers intend to investigate the properties of semiconducting nanostructures such as quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots. More specifically, they will investigate both the energies and wavefunctions of electrons and excitons in highly confined systems. Among the systems they plan to study are screened excitons in quantum wells and electronic states associated with hydrogenic impurities in quantum dots. These systems are vitally important in the preparation of semiconductor multilayers, the resulting structures being responsible for new generations of electronic and optoelectronic devices offering superior performance. For this project the US side will concentrate on the analytical calculations while the Mexican side will contribute extensive numerical and computational resources.***
