We focus on the electronic structure and optical absorption and on their dependence on array dimensionality and surface stoichiometry motivated by the rapid development of experimental techniques to achieve high periodicity and colloidal quantum dot characteristics. The homogeneous response of colloidal quantum dot arrays to different light polarizations is also investigated. Our results shed light on the optical behaviour of these novel multi-dimensional nanomaterials and identify some of them as ideal building blocks for intermediate band solar cells.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia P18-RT-3303}, organization = {School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)}, organization = {Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Colloidal quantum dots}, keywords = {Optical absorption}, keywords = {Ordered arrays}, keywords = {Stoichiometry}, keywords = {Dimensionality}, title = {Optical Absorption in N-Dimensional Colloidal Quantum Dot Arrays: Influence of Stoichiometry and Applications in Intermediate Band Solar Cells}, doi = {10.3390/nano12193387}, author = {Herrero Hahn, Rebeca Victoria and Rodríguez Bolívar, Salvador and Skibinsky Gitlin, Erik Sebastian and Gómez Campos, Francisco Manuel}, }
