Abstract
Arrays of colloidal quantum dots have a number of potential optoelectronic applications that depend on the efficiency of carrier collection form the matrix-embedded array of quantum dots. Herein, carrier transmission coefficients are calculated for bound states and quasi-bound states in a 3-dimensional superlattice formed by an alternating structure of colloidal quantum dots and matrix materials, including conductive polymers.
