Another foot in the door setting the tone and direction of the future.

It's also good to see others looking at Tetrapods from the scientific end. The more the merrier:

Hide Abstract Add to My Schedule

Calculation on confined exciton states of quantum tetrapods is given based on single-band effective-mass approximation for both conduction and valence bands and rigorous diagonalization of configuration interaction Hamiltonian taking into consideration the Coulomb interaction between electron and hole. The selection rule of optical transition is examined by both group-theoretical consideration and numerical calculation of transition dipole moments. Numerical results on absorption and emission spectra are also given. Numerical calculation is mainly performed for the CdTe quantum tetrapod that consists of a zinc-blende core and four symmetric wurtzite arms. Quantum tetrapods of core/shell type are discussed briefly.
