Silicon Nanocrystals: Fundamental Theory and Implications for Stimulated Emission

Figure 11

Splitting of the two lower hole levels shown in Figure 5 as function of the dimensionless acceptor displacement from the dot center in (a), and with respect to the NC radius in (b). The direction of the acceptor position-vector is defined by , , and . Dashed and solid lines represent the energies originating from doublet and quadruplet at , respectively. All the energies are counted from the mean quadruplet energy at .
