摘要：

Entropies associated with the transition of electrons into and out of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) are calculated by considering the temperature dependence of energy eigenvalues due to strain and energy band offset variations. It is found that, for InAs/GaAs quantum dots with base/height dimensions of 20/10nm, the contribution from the surrounding lattice to entropy is smaller than 4 x 10(-5) eV/K for the temperature region below 100 K, where most measurements of thermal emission rates are performed. Including the electron degeneracy, the total entropy change has an upper limit of 1 x 10(-4) eV/K when releasing the first electron from the s-shell, while the second released s-electron is connected with an entropy change not larger than the absolute value of -2 x 10(-5) eV/K.
