Page No. 7-12

The theory of superatom (or artificial atom) formed from spatially separated electrons and holes
(hole moving in the volume of a semiconductor (dielectric) quantum dot and an electron localized
on the outer spherical interface between the quantum dot and a dielectric matrix) is developed.
Predicted a new hydrogen - artificial atom, which is similar to the new alkali - metal atom.
Keywords: superatoms, quasi-zero-dimensional nanoheterostructures, quantum dots, alkali –metal
atom, separated electrons and holes
