We consider theoretically the impact of the coherent manipulation of electronic states in the triple vertical lens‐shaped circular InAs/GaAs quantum dot molecules on the collective magneto‐optical reflection from layers of those nano‐objects. The quantum dots have substantially different diameters in contrast to most of the known simulations. We demonstrate a possibility to drive molecular electronic ground states (to redistribute electronic wave functions within the molecule) by applying an external magnetic field along the system's growth direction. The change in the states leads to the redistribution of the intensity of the reflectance and absorbance peaks in the collective magneto‐optical response of a layer of the triple quantum dot molecules. Varying the distance between quantum dots within the layer one can study optically the transition from “molecular” to “atomic” configuration. We show that the changes in the quantum mechanical behaviour of the molecules can be made observable by monitoring changes of the ellipsometric parameters Ψ and Δ in the magneto‐optical response of layers of such nano‐objects.

In this work, the auto-correlation function of the center of mass velocity has been used to deduce the mass diffusion coefficient (D) of water diluted in nitrogen using the Classical Molecular Dynamics Simulations (CMDS). The calculations have been performed at room temperature (296 K) for different mixtures of H2O in N2 and 2.107 molecules from a five-sites potential. The results show that the auto-correlation functions expected exponential decay behavior [i.e. v v t exp( ) τ      ] and from the decay times τv , the mass diffusion coefficient and the velocity changing collisions frequency have been determined. The comparison between the CMDS results and experimental results are presented and discussed.
