Abstract

The size-dependent energy gaps, electron and heavy hole effective masses, phonon frequencies and polaron related parameters in InSb spherical quantum dots are investigated. The calculations are performed using a pseudopotential approach. Good agreement is obtained between our results and those of the literature for bulk InSb. When proceeding from bulk to nano-scale, all studied properties are found to be changed significantly. This is attributed to the quantum confinement effect.
