RESUMO

In this work we study the combined effect of the electron-electron interaction and the valence-hole mobility on the electronic states and optical absorption in low dimensional electron doped semiconducting systems. We model two different systems : i) self-assembled quantum dots, and ii) two-dimensional systems. In the first case we calculate the optical absorption using exact diagnalization techniques to calculate the final electronic states in the presence of the valence-hole. Our results show that the combined effect of interactions and hole recoil originate a complex absorption spectrum with clear signatures of the number of electrons charging the dot. On the case of two-dimensional systems we focused in two specific problems: i) the ground state of a complex having two electrons and a valence hole (trion), and ii) the electronic states of a two-dimensional electron gas. Using exact diagonalization techniques and a variational method we show that the effect of the valence-hole mobility may be considered as an additional interaction among electrons. This new interaction modifies the electronic correlation and tends to decrease the binding energy of the complex. On the other side, the study of the electronic states of the two-dimensional electron gas was performed within a mean-field approximation (Hartree and local density functional) on a finite system. We calculate the absorption spectrum using a single-particle model that allows us to include the effect of electronic interactions and hole recoil
