In this dissertation, we calculate the electronic charge and heat transport generated by a temperature gradient and a chemical potential bias in tubular semiconductor nanowires, in the presence of a magnetic field. We use the Landauer-Büttiker approach ...

Growth of self-assembled quantum dots is of great interest due to their potential quantum confinement effect and numerous applications in optoelectronics and nano-sized structures. Semiconducting Si, Ge and SiGe nanocrystals (NCs), embedded in a ...
