Abstract

Simulations of dopant pair-state distributions are presented for zincblende nanocrystals with different radii and for different dopant fractions. The probability of finding at least one pair-state and the concentration of pair-states were calculated on the basis of a statistical average of 105 simulations per crystal size and dopant concentration. The distribution of nanocrystal lattice positions over the surface and the bulk of the crystal is computed. A mathematical description of the distributions, valid in any crystal lattice, is discussed. This removes the need for further simulations.
