Current inspection analyzes the role played by Gaussian white noise on intraband transition lifetime (ITL) of quantum dot (QD) containing an impurity. In this regard, the ITL profiles are scrutinized following the variation of several pertinent physical quantities with and without noise. Two different avenues viz. 'additive' and 'multiplicative' have been explored by which noise may be introduced to the system. Often, the presence of noise happens to alter the attributes of the ITL profiles (steady rise, steady fall, and maximization) from that under a noise-free state. And such alterations also prominently depend on the additive/multiplicative nature of noise. The present study clearly manifests the attainment of enhanced ITL of QDs containing dopants under applied Gaussian white additive noise having strength in the neighborhood of a typical value. The findings seem to have important bearings in designing and manufacturing QD-based optoelectronic devices where the role of noise needs to be acknowledged.

In this work we theoretically study how to optimize the efficiency of an intermediate band solar cell based on IV-VI PbTe/CdTe semiconductor materials. We focus our attention on how control structural parameters, such as the height and radius in cylindrical quantum dots and the radius in spherical quantum dots to obtain the inter and intraband transition energies that provide the highest efficiency values of the solar cell. The calculation of the energy levels, the selection rules for transitions energies were performed using the 4×4 k.p Kane-Dimmok Hamiltonian.

When the size of a semiconductor is reduced by an appropriate materials processing technique to a dimension less than about twice the radius of an exciton in the bulk crystal, the band like structure of the semiconductor gives way to discrete molecular orbital electronic states. Clusters of semiconductors in a size regime lower than 2R {where R is the exciton Bohr radius; e.g. 3 nm for CdS and 7.3 nm for CdTe) are called Quantum Dots (QD) because they confine optically excited electron- hole pairs (excitons) in all three spatial dimensions. Structures based on QD are of great interest because of fast response times and non-linearity in optical switching applications.In this paper we report the first HREM analysis of the size and structure of CdTe and CdS QD formed by precipitation from a modified borosilicate glass matrix. The glass melts were quenched by pouring on brass plates, and then annealed to relieve internal stresses. QD precipitate particles were formed during subsequent "striking" heat treatments above the glass crystallization temperature, which was determined by differential thermal analysis.
