An exciton may be attached to a quantum dot if the conduction-band and valence-band offsets, for a given dot size, satisfy certain inequalities. Alternatively, for a set of finite offsets, the dot dimension must exceed a minimal size for an exciton to be bound to the dot. These critical offset or do

It is known experimentally that stable charged-exciton complexes can exist in low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures. Much less is known about the properties of such charged-exciton complexes since three-body problems are very difficult to solve, even numerically. Here we introduce the correla
A theory of intrinsic radiative lifetimes of excitons in semiconductor quantum dots is presented. Simple closed-form expressions for the decay times are obtained for quantum dots fabricated from quasi-two-dimensional systems. In particular, the intrinsic temperature-dependent photoluminescence decay
