摘要
Atomistic pseudopotential plus configuration interaction calculations of the energy needed to charge dots by either electrons or holes are described, and contrasted with the widely used, but highly simplified two-dimensional parabolic effective mass approximation (2D-EMA). Substantial discrepancies are found, especially for holes, regarding the stable electronic configuration and filling sequence which defies both Hund's rule and the Aufbau principle.
