Unbound states in quantum heterostructures

<p>Abstract</p><p>We report in this review on the electronic continuum states of semiconductor Quantum Wells and Quantum Dots and highlight the decisive part played by the virtual bound states in the optical properties of these structures. The two particles continuum states of Quan...

description <p>Abstract</p><p>We report in this review on the electronic continuum states of semiconductor Quantum Wells and Quantum Dots and highlight the decisive part played by the virtual bound states in the optical properties of these structures. The two particles continuum states of Quantum Dots control the decoherence of the excited electron &#8211; hole states. The part played by Auger scattering in Quantum Dots is also discussed.</p>
