Abstract

Atomistic pseudopotential plus configuration interaction calculations of the energy needed to charge dots by either electrons or holes are described, and contrasted with the widely used, but highly simplified two-dimensional parabolic effective mass approximation (2D-EMA). Substantial discrepancies are found, especially for holes, regarding the stable electronic configuration and filling sequence which defies both Hund's rule and the Aufbau principle.
