Keywords: In this work we report a theoretical study of excitons behavior in self-assembled strain-free GaAs quantum dot
GaAs quantum dot molecules (QDMs) obtained by nanoholes filling. More precisely, we study a single molecule formed by a

effective-mass Schrödinger equation is adopted to reliably provide a complete overview of the fine structure
of neutral and complexes excitons and to explain how a pair of quantum dots interact in between while varying
the spacer layer thickness mediating the coupling in the barrier. Our calculations can be adopted to improve the
growth conditions and boost the optical properties of strain-free GaAs QDMs for using them in quantum infor

respectively. Note that the XX BE values are likely in the same range as
those depicted from Ref. [35,36] where the BE of the XX vary between 1
and 6 meV. This fact can arise from the vertical carriers’ localization
when the barrier separating the two QDs is 1 nm thick. Moreover, un
bound biexcitons are often noticed in some QDs such as nitride polar
DQs [37–39] and in nonpolar strained QDs [40]. We also note that as the
spacer thickness increases, the BEs decrease. Yet, the BE of X− is always
negative, thus forms a bound state which is in good agreement with the
