Electronic transport in QD based structures: from basic parameters to opto-electronic device simulations

We present a theoretical model that explains the optoelectronic response of nanodevices based on large quantum dot (QD) arrays. The model is grounded on rate equations in the self-consistent field regime and it accurately describes the most important part of the system: the tunnel junctions. We demo...

Sumario:We present a theoretical model that explains the optoelectronic response of nanodevices based on large quantum dot (QD) arrays. The model is grounded on rate equations in the self-consistent field regime and it accurately describes the most important part of the system: the tunnel junctions. We demonstrate that the ratio between the optical terms and the transport rates determines the final device response. Furthermore, we showed that to obtain a net photocurrent the QD has to be asymmetrically coupled to the leads.
