41. For one single QD, it is worth mentioning the rather succesful attempts have recently been made to obtain the confining potential from the electrostatics of“model” devices with the aim of avoiding the more phenomenological point of view adopted here. See, for example, N. A. Bruce and P. A. Maksym, Phys. Rev. B 61, 4718 (2000);

44. Phys. Rev. B However, there is still arbitrariness and uncertainly even in these full-blown and impressive calculations, because no model yet exists to accurately include deviations from ideality and randomness which occur in all real dot structures [see also P. Matagne, J.P. Leburton, D.G. Austing, and S. Tarucha, 65, 085325 (2002)].
