Combined effects of electric field and hydrostatic pressure on electron states in asymmetric GaAs/(Ga,Al) triple quantum dots

The combined effects of an in-growth direction applied electric field and hydrostatic pressure on the exciton binding energy and photoluminescence energy transitions are reported in this work for triple vertically coupled quantum dots. The calculations have been carried out within the effective mass approximation, and using a variational procedure. The results show that the exciton binding energy and the photoluminescence energy transitions are functions of external probes like the hydrostatic pressure and the applied electric field.
