Abstract

Identifying and understanding the effects of impurities and defects in quantum dots, wires, and multiple wells is important for the development of nanostructures with good optical properties. Simple model calculations are presented to show when and how shallow impurities affect the radiative recombination of confined electron-hole pairs. Results for nanostructures are compared with results for bulk systems. Qualitative differences between bulk and confined systems are described.
