Transport and optical effects in self-assembled quantum dot devices

This thesis describes a theoretical and numerical study of quantum transport and optical effects through an array of self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown in the intrinsic region of a GaAs p-i-n junction. We present a numerical simulation of this system and compare the generated transport and elecr...
