With the improvement in fabrication techniques it is now possible to produce atom-like semiconductor structures with unique electronic properties. This makes possible periodic arrays of nanostructures in which the Coulomb interaction, polarizability and tunneling may all be varied. This theoretical study investigates the collective properties of 2D arrays and 3D face-centered cubic lattices of singly charged nanospherical shells, sometimes called 'quantum dot-quantum wells' or 'core-shell quantum dots'. We find that, for square arrays, the classical ground state is an Ising anti-ferroelectric (AFE), while the quantum ground state undergoes a transition from a uniform state to an AFE. The triangular lattice, in contrast, displays properties characteristic of frustration. Three-dimensional face-centered cubic lattices polarize in planes, with each layer alternating in direction. We discuss the possible experimental signals of these transitions.
