Dielectric Constants of Silicon Quantum Dots
Abstract
Quantum mechanical pseudopotential calculations of the absorption spectra and static dielectric constant ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{s}$ of Si quantum dots with \ensuremath{\sim}100-1300 atoms are presented. The predicted ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{s}$ is found to be significantly reduced relative to the bulk value, but is considerably larger than the value deduced from currently available model calculations. A convenient parametrization of ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{s}$ vs size $R$ is provided. We find that for quantum dots with $R<20$ \AA{} the electron-hole pair is confined by the physical dimension of the dot, not by the Coulomb attraction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
