SKILLS AND EXPERTISE

Low-dimensional structures

Computational physics

Mathematical physics

Ab initio calculations

Current Research Interest

My main expertise skills are computational physics, mathematical physics and electronic structure of atoms and molecules.  Now, I’m working on electronic structure , optical properties and other perturbation effects of low-dimensional structures such as quantum dots (QDs). Semiconductor materials are extremely important in the development of nanotechnology. Thanks to the remarkable progress in modern technology, it is possible to fabricate ultra-small semiconductor structures such as QDs whose charge carries (electrons and holes) are confined in all the three dimensions. QDs have atomic properties such as discrete energy levels and shell structures, and they are often referred to as artificial atoms. The special confinement causes remarkable changes in the properties of confined systems such as energy spectrum, electrical and optical properties, static polarizability and so on. These structures display an interesting behavior and play an important role in microelectronic and opto-electronic devices since they can affect the electrical, optical and transport properties. QDs have various application fields in the development of microelectronic and opto-electronic devices such as photo infrared detectors, quantum computers, a single electron transistor, quantum lasers and so on.
