17. The electron charging transition in Fig. 1 occurs at an applied bias of 3.8 V due to a non-Ohmic back contact to the diode. For an Ohmic contact, the transition would occur below 1 V.

29. Laser power is included in the calculation through the expression Gb = (1-R) α Lz P n ω Aspot, where P is the laser power, R=0.3 is the reflection coefficient, α=2× 104 cm-1 is the absorption coefficient, n=0.5× 1010 cm-2 is the QD density, ω=1.6 eV is the photon energy, Lz =3× 10-7 cm is the quantum well width, and Aspot =π (40 μm) 2 /4 is the cross-sectional area of the laser beam.
30. The suppression of the radiative decay time of the trion compared to the exciton is connected with influence of the interparticle Coulomb interactions on the electron and hole wave functions.
