(ELSEVIER, 2022) Koc, Fatih; Kavruk, Ahmet Emre; Sahin, Mehmet; 0000-0002-9419-1711; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Şahin, Mehmet
In this study, the advanced manipulability of wave functions in a type-II multi-shell hetero-nanostructure (MS-HNS) and the tunability of radiative exciton lifetime over a wide range with and/or without changing in transition energies has been demonstrated by the band edge engineering. For this purpose, the electronic and optical properties of exciton (X) and biexciton (XX) in a spherical CdS/ZnSe/ZnTe/CdSe HNS have been explored in detail. In the calculations, effects of all Coulombic interactions between the charges have been taken into account on the wave functions. Moreover, in the case of XX, the exchange–correlation potential between the same charged particles has also been considered. The results have been presented as a function of CdS core radius and ZnSe shell thickness and the probable physical reasons have been discussed in detail.

In this work, the optical properties of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs/AlyGa1-yAs multi-shell quantum dot heterostructure have been studied as a function of Al doping concentrations for cases with and without a hydrogenic donor atom. It has been observed that the absorption coefficient strength and/or resonant absorption wavelength can be adjusted by changing the Al content of inner-barrier and/or outer-barrier regions. Besides, it has been shown that the donor atom has an important effect on the control of the electronic and optical properties of the structure. The results have been presented as a function of the Al contents of the inner-barrier x and outer-barrier y regions and probable physical reasons have been discussed. (c) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

A theoretical analysis of optical properties in a ZnS/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell spherical quantum dot was carried out within the effective mass approximation. The corresponding Schrödinger equation was solved using the finite element method via the 2D axis-symmetric module of COMSOL-Multiphysics software. Calculations included variations of internal dot radius, the application of electric and magnetic fields (both oriented along z-direction), as well as the presence of on-center donor impurity. Reported optical properties are the absorption and relative refractive index change coefficients. These quantities are related to transitions between the ground and first excited states, with linearly polarized incident radiation along the z-axis. It is found that transition energy decreases with the growth of internal radius, thus causing the red-shift of resonant peaks. The same happens when the external magnetic field increases. When the strength of applied electric field is increased, the opposite effect is observed, since there is a blue-shift of resonances. However, dipole matrix moments decrease drastically with the increase of the electric field, leading to a reduction in amplitude of optical responses. At the moment impurity effects are activated, a decrease in the value of the energies is noted, significantly affecting the ground state, which is more evident for small internal radius. This is reflected in an increase in transition energies.
