Phys. Rev. B 67, 205326 (2003) [5 pages]Geometry dependence of Auger carrier capture rates into cone-shaped self-assembled quantum dotsReceived 11 December 2002; published 30 May 2003 We calculate carrier capture rates into cone- and truncated-cone-shaped quantum dots mediated by Auger processes. It is demonstrated that the capture rates depend strongly on both dot size and shape. The importance of phonon-mediated versus the Auger-mediated capture processes is discussed. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
