Figure 3 The size dependence of the exciton band-edge structure in ellipsoidalcubic CdTe quantum dots with ellipticity l: (a) spherical dots (l = 0); (b) oblate dots(l = 0.28); (c) prolate dots (l = 0.28). Solid (dashed) lines indicate optically active(passive) levels.between the electron and hole spin momentum states <strong>by</strong> the electron–holeexchangeinteraction strongly affects the optical transition probabilities. Thewave functions of the jFj = 2 exciton state, however, are unaffected <strong>by</strong> thisinteraction [see Eq. (17)]; it is optically passive in the dipole approximationbecause emitted or absorbed photons cannot have an angular momentumprojection of F2. The probability of optical excitation or recombination of anexciton state with total angular momentum projection F is proportional to the<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
