| contents | In semiconductor nanostructures, optical excitation typically creates bound electron-hole states, such as excitons, trions, and larger complexes. Their relative motion is described by the Wannier equation, which is valid only for spatially extended motion in the Coulomb-dominated, weak-confinement limit. Other small nanostructures, such as quantum dots, are in the confinement-dominated strong confinement regime, where the wavefunction factorizes into independent electron and hole parts. Nanoplatelets are in between the two regimes and require solving an unfactorized higher-dimensional Schrödinger equation, which is computationally expensive. This work demonstrates how tensor networks can partially overcome this problem, using CdSe nanoplatelets as an example. The method is also applicable to related two-dimensional systems. As a demonstration, we calculate the excitonic and trionic ground states, as well as several excited states, for nanoplatelets of varying sizes, including their energies and oscillator strengths. More importantly, overall strategies for using tensor networks in real space for systems under intermediate confinement have been developed. |
