Optical and transport properties of low-dimensional semiconductor   nanostructures
  The interpretation of the electronic kinetic processes in the quantum zero dimensional nanostructures is considered. The main mechanism of the processes is supposed to be the interaction of electrons with the optical phonons. An emphasis is put on the recently measured effect of the long-time photoluminescence of quantum dot samples, which is observed to occur after an illumination of the sample by a laser pulse. In addition to this, an attention is devoted to the possible origin of the optical effect of the blinking (intermittence) of the optical emission of certain quantum dot samples under a permanent optical excitation, and to another similar effect.
