Magneto-optical properties of quantum dots in InSb

Abstract

Magneto-optical properties of quantum dots in semiconductors have been considered using the model of hard-wall confinement. The eigenenergies of the system have been computed. Taking into account the real band structure of InSb-type materials (narrow energy gap and strong spin-orbit interaction) the authors have been able to describe very well the existing magneto-optical data on the quantum dots in InSb.
