Overview

The work covers many topics concerned with the man-made electronic systems called quantum dots, in particular: methods of creation, internal properties (electronic structure), directly observed properties (response to the experimental probes like light or electrodes), experimental methods and results, physical effects occuring in dots, theoretical models, computational methods, and future applications. The review part only requires basic knowledge on quantum mechanics and solid state physics.
