35. The definition of dimensionality for the quantum dot arrays we study is somewhat unclear. While it might be thought that the arrays are quasi-one-dimensional in nature, one could also argue that the dots are zero dimensional. We simply refer to the arrays as having a dimensionality (Formula presented)
