Artech.jpgThe 565-page resource Optics of Quantum Dots and Wires describes the status and potential of the technology. Chapters cover such areas as carrier relaxation in nanostructures, fabrication of stressor quantum dots, self-ordered quantum nanostructures, novel lateral semiconductor nanostructures by functional self-organized epitaxy, and high-resolution optical spectroscopy of single quantum dots in quantum wells. The book concludes with a discussion on how the dots and wires can be applied to next-generation semiconductor lasers and optical sources, and to single-photon sources and quantum coherent optoelectronics. Charts, diagrams, references and an index are provided. Garnett W. Bryant and Glenn S. Solomon, eds.; Artech House Inc., Norwood, Mass., 2005; $179.

Glossary
quantum dots
A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
