Lamb shift of interactive electron-hole pairs in spherical semiconductor quantum dots

The ground state Lamb shift of a semiconductor spherical Quantum Dot is computed in the effective mass approximation. It appears to be significant enough to be detectable for a wide range of small Quantum Dots synthesized in semiconductors. A possible way to observe it, via the Casimir effect, is su...

Description
Summary:The ground state Lamb shift of a semiconductor spherical Quantum Dot is computed in the effective mass approximation. It appears to be significant enough to be detectable for a wide range of small Quantum Dots synthesized in semiconductors. A possible way to observe it, via the Casimir effect, is suggested.
