Our projects

Theoretical and computational investigation of the magneto-optical properties of one and two dimensional arrays of quantum dots and quantum rings in a transverse magnetic field taking into account electron interactions in the few-body and many-body regimes. The aim of the project is the bringing the light to the phenomena connected with collective excitations of electron gas in quasi 2D space as a result of interaction with photon cavity, impurities and external fields.

Modelling of the photovoltaic characteristics of new-generation solar cells composed of quantum dots and their ordered arrays. In this research project we are mainly focus on so-called P-I-N solar cells, where quantum dot arrays are implemented between the p- and n-type semiconductors which leads to an additional intermediate band between the valence and the conduction bands of bulk semiconductor. Theoretically, the solar cells with an intermediate band can reach efficiency up to 63%. Our main aim is the development of a simulation model of intermediate band solar cells that will allow to predict the structural characteristics for solar cells with high efficiency.
