Tuning biexciton binding and antibinding in core/shell quantum dots

We use a path integral quantum Monte Carlo method to simulate excitons and biexcitons in core/shell nanocrystals with Type-I, Type-II, and quasi-Type-II band alignments. Quantum Monte Carlo techniques allow for all quantum correlations to be included when determining the thermal ground state, thus p...
