Recent studies on the electronic properties of semiconductor quantum structures have led to progress being made in areas such as Bloch oscillations, photon-assisted tunneling, quantum cascade lasers, blue-green light emitters, and microcavity effects. In addition, new epitaxial methods to prepare 10 nm scale quantum wires and dots have been found and greater insight into their unique properties attained.
