We present an efficient and accurate continuum-mechanics approach to predict the elastic fields in multilayered semiconductors due to buried quantum dots (QDs). Our approach is based on a novel Green’s function solution in anisotropic and linearly elastic multilayers, derived within the framework of generalized Stroh formalism and Fourier transforms, in conjunction with the Betti’s reciprocal theorem. By using this approach, the induced elastic fields due to QDs with general misfit strains are expressed as a volume integral over the QDs domains. For QDs with uniform misfit strains, the volume integral involved is reduced to a surface integral over the QDs boundaries. Further, for QDs that can be modeled as point sources, the induced elastic fields are then derived as a sum of the point-force Green’s functions. In the last case, the solution of the QD-induced elastic field is analytical, involving no numerical integration, except for the evaluation of the Green’s functions. As numerical examples, we have studied a multilayered semiconductor system of QDs made of alternating GaAs-spacer and InAs-wetting layers on a GaAs substrate, plus a freshly deposited InAs-wetting layer on the top. The effects of vertical and horizontal arrays of QDs and of thickness of the top wetting layer on the QD-induced elastic fields are examined and some new features are observed that may be of interest to the designers of semiconductor QD superlattices.

Green’s function methods provide a robust, general framework within many-body theory for treating electron correlation in both excited states and x-ray spectra. Conventional methods using the Dyson equation or the cumulant expansion are typically based on the GW self-energy approximation. In order to extend this approximation in molecular systems, a non-perturbative real-time coupled-cluster cumulant Green’s function approach has been introduced, where the cumulant is obtained as the solution to a system of coupled first order, non-linear differential equations. This approach naturally includes non-linear corrections to conventional cumulant Green’s function techniques where the cumulant is linear in the GW self-energy. The method yields the spectral function for the core Green’s function, which is directly related to the x-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) of molecular systems. The approach also yields very good results for binding energies and satellite excitations. The x-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) is then calculated using a convolution of the core spectral function and an effective, one-body XAS. Here this approach is extended to include the full coupled-cluster-singles (CCS) core Green’s function by including the complete form of the non-linear contributions to the cumulant as well as all single, double, and triple cluster excitations in the CC amplitude equations. This approach naturally builds in orthogonality and shake-up effects analogous to those in the Mahan-Noizeres-de Dominicis edge singularity corrections that enhance the XAS near the edge. The method is illustrated for the XPS and XAS of NH3.

A discussion of how to carry out a direct perturbation expansion for the one-electron Green's function is given using an electron–plasmon model for the conduction electron correlations. A crucial feature of the method is the consistent extraction of energy shifts. Numerical results for the spectral function and the density of states are given in lowest order and the generalization to higher order is discussed. The present work differs from previous ones in that the method used cannot give rise to "plasmaron"-like excitations. Other singular features also come in differently.

AbstractA computationally convenient Green's function method is described for calculation of strain characteristics of quantum dots in an anisotropic semi- infinite solid containing a free surface. Semi-analytic expressions are derived for the strain field due to a quantum dot, strain energy of a quantum dot, and strain- field interaction between 2 quantum dots. Numerical results are presented for the strain field due to a quantum dot in GaAs. It is shown that the effect of the free surface, which has been neglected in earlier calculations using Green's function methods, is quite significant.
