Abstract

Properties of electronic energy spectra of several small virtual clusters (known as small quantum dots, or QDs) composed of In, Ga and As atoms are investigated for the further use in nanoheterostructure (NHS) units of pre-designed electronic properties. Modern quantum statistical physics methods relate these properties to electronic transport properties of such systems and therefore, lead to realization of a virtual (i.e., fundamental theory- based, computational) approach to synthesis of sub-nanoscale electronic materials with pre-designed electronic properties[1].
