Particle Level

We describe a procedure for calculating the electronic structure of semiconductor quantum dots containing over one million atoms. The single particle electron levels are calculated by solving a Hamiltonian constructed from screened atomic pseudopotentials. Effects beyond the single particle level such as electron and hole exchange and correlation interactions are described using a configuration interaction (CI) approach. Application of these methods to the calculation of the optical absorption spectrum, Coulomb repulsions and multi-exciton binding energies of InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots are presented.

ABSTRACTA first-principles study on the quasiparticles energy and optical absorption spectrum of fluorographene is presented by employing the GW + Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) method with many-electron effects included. The calculated band gap is increased from 3.0 eV to 7.3 eV by the GW approximation. Moreover, the optical absorption spectrum of fluorographene is dominated by enhanced excitonic effects. The prominent absorption peak is dictated by bright resonant excitons around 9.0 eV that exhibit a strong charge transfer character, shedding light on the exciton condensation and relevant optoelectronic applications. At the same time, the lowest-lying exciton at 3.8 eV with a binding energy of 3.5 eV is identified, which gives rise to explanation of the recent ultraviolet photoluminescence experiment.

Molecular Orbital Model

A cluster with 188 atoms is utilized to investigate the electronic structure of K 3 C 60 within the molecular orbital model. The calculated density of states is in excellent agreement with experimental results of photoemission and inverse photoemission. The band gap is calculated using three different schemes and the results indicate a metallic system. The optical absorption spectrum is calculated from a CI procedure and indicates transitions below 15000 cm –1 not present in pristine C 60.

The energy and asymmetry of the optical absorption spectrum of solvated electrons, es- , change in a nonlinear fashion on changing the solvent through the series HOH, CH3OH, CH3CH3OH, (CH3)2CHOH, (CH3)3COH. The ultimate, quantum-statistical mechanical, interpretation of solvated electron spectra is needed to describe the solvent dependence. The previously reported optical spectrum of es- in tert-butanol was somewhat inaccurate, due to a small amount of water in the alcohol and to limitations of the infrared light detector. The present note records the remeasured spectrum and its temperature dependence. The value of the energy at the absorption maximum (EAmax) is 155 zJ (0.97 eV) at 299 K and 112 zJ (0.70 eV) at 338 K; the corresponding values of G epsilon max (10-22 m2 aJ-1) are 1.06 and 0.74. These unusually large changes are attributed to the abnormally rapid decrease of dielectric permittivity of tert-butanol with increasing temperature. The band asymmetry at 299 K is Wb/Wr = 1.8.Key words: optical absorption spectrum, solvated electron, solvent effects, tert-butanol, temperature dependence.
