A given review article summarizes the results of theoretical studies of artificial atom (or superatom)—nanodimensional quasi-atomic structure with the spatially separated electron and hole (hole is located within the semiconductor quantum dot (QD), and electron is localized on the outer spherical QD– dielectric-matrix interface). As shown, such artificial atoms can be used to construct quasi-molecules and quasi-crystals possessing specified physical and chemical properties. The role of the superatoms in different physical phenomena as well as in technical applications is discussed.

Keywords: artificial atom, quasizerodimension nanosystems, quantum dots, spatially separated electron and hole, electronic properties.
