Quantum distributions tunneling observables

The STL technique has also been applied to multilayers of CdSe quantum dots. Interestingly, the opposite behavior is found in results on single dots on Au surfaces in that the presence of the quantum dots leads to an increase in the plasmon emission because of a more conducive dielectric environment in the multilayer geometry. It was also observed that the onset of STL in these cases occurred at the band gap of the quantum dots divided by a factor of two, indicating that tunneling to the dots is an important step in the light emission process. It also indicates that better modeling of the potential distribution inside the quantum dot layers is necessary. ...
