Theoretical studies on Quantum Dots

Project funded by Swedish Research Council (Project grant), grant 2008-06011_VR. Participating organisations named by the source: Stockholm University. Funded amount: SEK 345,000, as stated by the source. Runs 2009-01-01 to 2011-12-31. Keywords: Oklassificerat, Unclassified. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2025-12-05); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: This proposal aims at establishing a concerted theoretical research activity between Uppsala University and University of Pune, India with a participation of S. N. Bose National center for Basic Sciences, Kolkata, India.The proposed project deals with the theoretical studies of the physical properties of Quantum Dots, the entities, which are vital for nanotechnological applications. The aim is to study the electronic, structural, magnetic and transport properties of these nano-scale entities by accurate first-principles density functional calculations, many body exact configuration interaction and formalism of equilibrium and non-equilibrium electron transport. The participation of Swedish and Indian researchers of various complementary expertises carries a unique feature of the present constellation. The collaboration will be set by exchange visits, organization of workshops and schools for training and education of young researchers and exchange of softwares between the research groups. The outcome of this project will be the knowledge base and understanding of the physics of realistic materials-specific Quantum Dots, which will help the experimentalists to grow and characterize these nano-scale entities.
