title = "Quantum confinement effects on optical properties of ZnO quantum dots",
abstract = "The qixantum confinement (QC) effects in ZnO quantum dots embedded in MgO matrix are theoretically investigated using tight-binding method. The effects on bound states and optical gap are studied versus the QD size and valence-band offset (VBO). Excellent agreement was obtained between theoretical results and available photoluminescence (PL) data versus dot size, especially when VBO φ 1.0 eV, which correspond to maximal compromised confinement characters of both holes and electrons. The strong QC of excitons would further enhance the oscillator strength and recombination rate.",
