Carrier multiplication in quantum dots. Billiards packet ball mechanism, quantum fluctuations, and accompanying Raman scattering phenomena.

The carrier multiplication (CM) in spherical semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as a re- sult of single photon absorption is studied. Semiconductors with simple parabolic electron- hole bands were considered when the band-to-band electron photon quantum transitions lead to creation of electron-hole...

description	The carrier multiplication (CM) in spherical semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as a re- sult of single photon absorption is studied. Semiconductors with simple parabolic electron- hole bands were considered when the band-to-band electron photon quantum transitions lead to creation of electron-hole (e-h) pairs with the same quantum numbers l, n, m of the envelope functions for electron and hole. In the frame of the perturbation theory the electron-radiation interband interaction with resonant and antiresonant terms as well as the electron-electron Coulomb interaction representing the long-range dipole-dipole interaction was engaged. A mechanism of the CM process similar with the packet balls in the billiards game is proposed.
