We present a theoretical atomistic study of the optical properties of non-toxic InX (X = P, As,
Sb) colloidal quantum dot arrays for application in photovoltaics. 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.
