Abstract:In this study, the electronic and optical properties of single or core/shell quantum dots, which are formed depending on the parameters in the selected Konwent potential, are investigated. Namely, the effects of the size and geometric shapes of quantum dots on the binding energy of the on-center donor impurity, the total absorption coefficient and refractive index which are including transitions between the some confined states, and the electromagnetically induced transparency between the lowest six confined s… Show more
In this work, the characterization and analysis of the physics of a GaAs quantum well with AlGaAs barriers were carried out, according to an interior doped layer. An analysis of the probability density, the energy spectrum, and the electronic density was performed using the self-consistent method to solve the Schrödinger, Poisson, and charge-neutrality equations. Based on the characterizations, the system response to geometric changes in the well width and to non-geometric changes, such as the position and with of the doped layer as well as the donor density, were reviewed. All second-order differential equations were solved using the finite difference method. Finally, with the obtained wave functions and energies, the optical absorption coefficient and the electromagnetically induced transparency between the first three confined states were calculated. The results showed the possibility of tuning the optical absorption coefficient and the electromagnetically induced transparency via changes to the system geometry and the doped-layer characteristics.
