We have taken into account all possible contributions to the total electronic energy in the dot, i.e, dielectric mismatch between dot and surrounding medium, the effects of finite barrier height and electron-hole exchange interaction. The Stokes shift is calculated as a function of radius of dot and compared with experimental data on two different semiconductor based quantum dots. These results provide evidence for exchange splitting of excitonic states, as the mechanism of Stokes shift in quantum dot", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-03-25T05:52:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semiconductor quantum dots", "stokes shift", "excitonic states", "electron-hole exchange interaction", "total electronic energy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005cond.mat..3612B" } } }
