Electronic properties of type-II GaAs_{1-x}Sb_{x}/GaAs quantum rings for applications in intermediate-band solar cells

We present a theoretical analysis of the electronic properties of type-II GaAs_{1-x}Sb_{x}/GaAs quantum rings (QRs), from the perspective of applications in intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs). We outline the analytical solution of Schr\"{o}dinger's equation for a cylindrical QR of infinite potential depth, and describe the evolution of the QR ground... Show more
