ABSTRACTWe have studied the thermoelectric power in quantum dots (QDs) of non-parabolic semiconductors in the presence of a classically large magnetic field and we have taken A3N B2V, ternary chalcopyrite, II-VI and III-V semiconductors. It is found that the thermopower increases with increasing film thickness and decreasing electron concentration respectively in all the cases. The numerical values are greatest for Cd3As2 and least for InAs and the theoretical results are in ageement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we studied the thermoelectric power under classically large magnetic field (TPM) in quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWS) and quantum dots (QDs) of Bi by formulating the respective electron dispersion laws. The TPM increases with increasing film thickness in an oscillatory manner in all the cases. The TPM in QD is greatest and the least for quantum wells respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we have studied the photoemission from quantum wells (QW), quantum wells wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of quantum confined strained III–V compounds on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law. It is found taking such quantum confined Hg1–xCdxTe and In1–xGaxAsyP1–y lattice matched InP as examples that the photoemission increases with increasing energy of the incident photons in a ladder like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration and film thickness respectively for all types quantum confinement. The photoemitted current is greatest in strained QDs and least in unstrained QWs. In addition the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental datas as given elsewhere.

ABSTRACTAn attempt is made to study the thermoelectric power in ultrathin films of semiconductors under magnetic quantization by including all types of aniso tropies in the energy spectrum within the domain of theory, and taking n-Cd3As2 as an example. It is found that, the magne to-thermopower decreases with increasing surface electron concentration and also changes in an oscillatory manner with film thickness respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we have studied the photoemission from quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of degenerate Kane-type semiconductors, on the basis of a newly derived electron dispersion law considering all types of anisotropies within the framework of k.p formalism. It is found, taking n-Cd3 As2 as an example, that the photoemission increases with increasing photon energy in a ladder-like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration and with film thickness, for all types of quantum confinement. The photoemission current density is greatest in QDs and least in QWWs. In addition, the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we studied the magneto-field emission from HgTe/Cdre superlattices with graded structure and compared the same with the bulk specimens of the constituent materials. It is found that the field emitted current density increases both with electron concentration and magnetic field in an oscillatory manner. The field emission in HgTe/CdTe SLi is greater than that of the same from constituent materials the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

AbstractIn this paper, we have investigated the Burstein-Moss shift(BMS) in QDs of III-V, II-VI and IV-VI semiconductors in the presence of a parallel magnetic field on the basis of newly formulated carrier disperson laws. It is found, taking QDs of InSb, Cds and CdTe as examples that the BMS increases with increasing doping and decreasing film thickness in ladder like manners. The numerical values of the BMS in QDs are much greater than that of their corresponding values for bulk specimens. The theoretical results as presented here are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported in literature.
