A Deformation Induced Quantum Dot

Due to their extraordinary electronic properties, Quantum Dots (QDs) are potentially very useful nanoscale devices and research tools. As their electrons are confined in all three dimensions, the energy spectra of QDs is descrete, similar to atoms and molecules. Because the gaps between these ene...
