A variational formalism for the calculation of the binding energies
of hydrogenic donors in a parabolic diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum
dot is discussed. Results are obtained for Cd
Mn
Te/Cd
Mn
Te structures as a
function of the dot radius in the presence of external magnetic and electric
fields applied along the growth axis. The donor binding energies are
computed for different field strengths and for different dot radii. While
the variation of impurity binding energy with dot radii and electric field
are as expected, the polarizability values enhance in a magnetic field.
However, for certain values of dot radii and in intense magnetic fields the
polarizability variation is anomalous. This variation of polarizability is
different from non- magnetic quantum well structures. Spin polaronic shifts
are estimated using a mean field theory. The results show that the spin
polaronic shift increases with magnetic field and decreases as the electric
field and dot radius increase. 相似文献

We show that the carrier “antibinding” observed recently in
semiconductor quantum dots, i.e., the fact that the ground state
energy of two electron-hole pairs goes above twice the ground-state
energy of one pair, can entirely be assigned to a charge separation
effect, whatever its origin. In the absence of external electric field, this charge
separation comes from different “spreading-out” of the electron and
hole wavefunctions linked to the finite height of the barriers. When
the dot size shrinks, the two-pair energy always stays below when the
barriers are infinite. On the opposite, because barriers are less
efficient for small dots, the energy of two-pairs in a dot with
finite barriers, ends by behaving like the one in bulk, i.e., by
going above twice the one-pair energy when the pairs get too close.
For a full understanding of this “antibinding” effect, we have also
reconsidered the case of one pair plus one carrier. We find that,
while the carriers just have to spread out of the dot differently for
the “antibinding” of two-pairs to appear, this “antibinding” for
one pair plus one carrier only appears if this carrier is the one
which spreads out the less. In addition a remarkable sum rule exists
between the “binding energies” of two pairs and of one pair plus one carrier. 相似文献

We present a study of the primary optical transitions
and recombination dynamics in InGaAs self-assembled quantum
nanostructures with different shape. Starting from the same
quantum dot seeding layer, and depending on the overgrowth
conditions, these new nanostructures can be tailored in shape and
are characterized by heights lower than 2 nm and base lengths
around 100 nm. The geometrical shape strongly influences the
electronic and optical properties of these nanostructuctures. We
measure for them ground state optical transitions in the range
1.25–1.35 eV and varying energy splitting between their excited
states. The temperature dependence of the exciton recombination
dynamics is reported focusing on the intermediate temperature
regime (before thermal escape begins to be important). In this
range, an important increase of the effective photoluminescence
decay time is observed and attributed to the state filling and
exciton thermalization between excited and ground states. A rate
equation model is also developed reproducing quite well the
observed exciton dynamics. 相似文献

The experimental data on individual quantum dots show that the optical line can have the form of a very narrow spike accompanied by a shoulder. So far the shoulder has been found at the lower energy side of the narrow peak. In the present work, we study theoretically the origin of such a lineshape. We shall use a simple model of quantum dot and a simple approximation to the electronic excitation. The electronic system will be assumed to be coupled to the longitudinal optical phonons. We will show that the electronic multiple scattering on the optical phonons can then give us an explanation of the observed optical lineshape. 相似文献

We report the effect of intense laser field on donor impurities in a semimagnetic Cd1-xinMnxinTe/Cd1-xoutMnxoutTe quantum dot. The spin polaronic energy of different Mn2+ is evaluated for different dot radii using a mean field theory in the presence of laser field. Magnetization is calculated for various concentrations of Mn2+ ions with different dot sizes. Significant magnetization of Mn spins can be obtained through the formation of polarized exciton magnetic polarons (EMPs). A rapid decrease of the laser dressed donor ionization energy for different values of dot sizes with increasing field intensity is predicted. Also, it is found that the polarization of EMPs increases rapidly at higher excitation energies. 相似文献

A theoretical study, within the effective-mass approximation, of the
effects of applied magnetic fields on excitons in disk-shaped
GaAs-Ga1-xAlxAs quantum dots is presented. Magnetic fields
are applied in the growth direction of the semiconductor
heterostructure. The parity of the excitonic envelope function
related to the simultaneous exchange of ze→-ze and
zh→-zh is a good quantum number and the wave
function, both the odd and even parity, can be expanded as
combination of products of the quantum well electron and hole
function that preserves the parity with appropriate Gaussian
functions. We have simultaneously obtained the energies of the
excitonic ground and excited states and discuss the behavior of
these energies as a function of the magnetic field. 相似文献

The properties of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by the sol-gel process are reported. The primary focus is on investigating the origin of the visible emission from ZnO QDs by the annealing process. The X-ray diffraction results show that ZnO QDs have hexagonal wurtzite structure and the QD diameter estimated from Debye-Scherrer formula is 8.9 nm, which has a good agreement with the results from transmission electron microscopy images and the theoretical calculation based on the Potential Morphing Method. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectra reveal that the ultraviolet excitation band has a red shift. Meanwhile, the main band of the visible emission shifts to the green luminescence band from the yellow luminescence one with the increase of the annealing temperature. A lot of oxygen atoms enter into Zn vacancies and form oxygen antisites with increasing temperature. That is probably the reason for the change of the visible emission band. 相似文献

We have investigated the spectral density of shot noise for the
system of a quantum dot (QD) coupled to two single-wall carbon
nanotube terminals irradiated with a microwave field on the QD. The
terminal features are involved in the shot noise through modifying
the self-energy of QD. The contributions of carbon nanotube
terminals to the shot noise exhibit obvious behaviors. The novel
side peaks are associated with the photon absorption and emission
procedure accompanying the suppression of shot noise. The shot noise
in balanced absorption belongs to sub-Poissonian, and it is
symmetric with respect to the gate voltage. The differential shot
noise displays intimate relation with the nature of carbon nanotubes
and the applied microwave field. It exhibits asymmetric behavior
for the unbalanced absorption case versus gate voltage. The Fano
factor of the system exhibits the deviation of shot noise from the
Schottky formula, and the structures of terminals obviously
contribute to it. The super-Poissonian and sub-Poissonian shot noise
can be achieved in the unbalanced absorption in different regime of
source-drain bias. 相似文献

Localization of exciton wavefunctions in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) has been investigated using CdSe QDs embedded in ZnMnSe. This system was chosen so as to make use of the giant Zeeman splitting in the diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) ZnMnSe, which enables one to map how the exciton wavefunction is distributed between the QDs and the surrounding matrix. Two series of CdSe QDs in ZnMnSe were prepared for this investigation by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), either by varying the CdSe coverage while keeping a constant Mn concentration in ZnMnSe; or by varying the Mn concentration in the matrix while maintaining a constant CdSe coverage. Photoluminescence (PL) experiments show a systematic evolution of the CdSe QDs with increasing CdSe coverage; and also reveal the role of Mn in nucleating (“seeding”) the self-assembly of the QDs. By simultaneously measuring the Zeeman shifts of the PL peaks from both the CdSe QDs and their ZnMnSe matrix, we are able to extract information on exciton localization in the QDs and its dependence on the degree of development of the self-assembled CdSe QDs with increasing CdSe coverage. 相似文献

Within the framework of the effective-mass approximation, the exciton states confined in wurtzite ZnO/MgZnO quantum dot (QD) are calculated using a variational procedure, including three-dimensional confinement of carriers in the QD and the strong built-in electric field effect due to the piezoelectricity and spontaneous polarizations. The exciton binding energy and the electron-hole recombination rate as functions of the height (or radius) of the QD are studied. Numerical results show that the strong built-in electric field leads to a remarkable electron-hole spatial separation, and this effect has a significant influence on the exciton states and optical properties of wurtzite ZnO/MgZnO QD. 相似文献

The binding energy of an impurity located at the center of multilayered spherical quantum dot (MSQD) is reported as a function of the dot and barrier thickness for different alloy compositions under the influence of a magnetic field. Within the effective mass approximation, the binding energy has been calculated using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method without magnetic field. A variational approach has been employed if a magnetic field is present. The binding energy in MSQD with equal dot and barrier thickness is calculated. It is shown that the binding energy in MSQD differs from that of a single quantum dot. Also, the geometry is dominant on the binding energy for thin MSQDs, but the magnetic field becomes more effective for thick MSQDs. 相似文献

Recently it was demonstrated that the rotational and vibrational spectra of quantum rings containing few electrons can be
described quantitatively by an effective spin-Hamiltonian combined with rigid center-of-mass rotation and internal vibrations
of localized electrons. We use this model Hamiltonian to study the quantum rings at finite temperatures and in presence of
a nonzero magnetic field. Total spin, angular momentum and pair correlation show similar phase diagram which can be understood
with help of the rotational spectrum of the ring.

We present an sp
3 tight-binding model for the calculation of the electronic and optical properties of wurtzite semiconductor quantum dots (QDs).
The tight-binding model takes into account strain, piezoelectricity, spin-orbit coupling and crystal-field splitting. Excitonic
absorption spectra are calculated using the configuration interaction scheme. We study the electronic and optical properties
of InN/GaN QDs and their dependence on structural properties, crystal-field splitting, and spin-orbit coupling. 相似文献

Theoretical study of the optical absorption and refraction index change in a cylindrical quantum dot
Analytical expressions of the optical absorption coefficient and the change in refractive index associated with intraband relaxation in a cylindrical quantum dot are obtained by using the density matrix formalism. Energy levels in conduction band were calculated with finite confining potential in the framework of the effective-mass envelope-function theory. Numerical calculations on a typical GaAs/AlβGa1−βAs QD are performed. It is found that the absorption and refraction index change sensitively depend not only on the incident optical wave but also on the dot size and the Al mole fraction β in the AlβGa1−βAs material. 相似文献

Optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes associated with intersubband transition in a parabolic cylinder quantum dot are theoretically investigated. In this regard, the electronic structure of the dot is studied using the one band effective mass theory, and by means of the compact-density matrix approach the linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are calculated. The effects of the size of the dot, optical intensity and electromagnetic field polarization on the optical absorption coefficient and refractive index changes are investigated. It is found that absorption and refractive index changes are strongly affected not only by the size of the dot but also by optical intensity and the electromagnetic field polarization. 相似文献

We report observation of the Kondo effect in the Coulomb blockade oscillations of an impurity quantum dot (IQD). This IQD
is formed in the channel of a 100 nm gate length Silicon MOSFET. The quantitative analysis of the anomalous temperature and
voltage dependence for the drain-source current over a series of Coulomb blockade oscillations is performed. It strongly supports
the Kondo explanation for the conductance behavior at very low temperature in this standard microelectronics device.

We study electron transport through a quantum dot, connected to non-magnetic leads, in a magnetic field. A super-Poissonian
electron noise due to the effects of both interacting localized states and dynamic channel blockade is found when the Coulomb
blockade is partially lifted. This is sharp contrast to the sub-Poissonian shot noise found in the previous studies for a
large bias voltage, where the Coulomb blockade is completely lifted. Moreover, we show that the super-Poissonian shot noise
can be suppressed by applying an electron spin resonance (ESR) driving field. For a sufficiently strong ESR driving field
strength, the super-Poissonian shot noise will change to be sub-Poissonian. 相似文献

The study of the quantum states of a two-dimensional electron-hole system in a strong perpendicular magnetic field is carried out with special attention to the influence of virtual quantum transitions of interacting particles between the Landau levels. These virtual quantum transitions from the lowest Landau levels to excited Landau levels with arbitrary quantum numbers n and m and their reversion to the lowest Landau levels in second order perturbation theory result in an indirect attraction between the particles. The influence of the indirect interaction on the magnetoexciton ground state, on the chemical potential of the Bose-Einstein condensed magnetoexcitons, and on the ground state energy of the metallic-type electron-hole liquid is investigated in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The coexistence of different phases is suggested. 相似文献

We demonstrate control of the fine-structure splitting of the exciton emission lines in single InAs quantum dots by the application of an in-plane magnetic field. The composition of the barrier material and the size and symmetry of the quantum dot are found to determine decrease or increase in the linear polarization splitting of the dominant exciton emission lines with increasing magnetic field. This enables the selection of dots for which the splitting can to be tuned to zero, within the resolution of our experiments. General differences in the g-factors and exchange splittings are found for different types of dot. 相似文献

We have investigated the mesoscopic transport through the system
with a quantum dot (QD) side-coupled to a toroidal carbon nanotube
(TCN) in the presence of spin-flip effect. The coupled QD
contributes to the mesoscopic transport significantly through
adjusting the gate voltage and Zeeman field applied to the QD.
The compound TCN-QD microstructure is related to the separate
subsystems, the applied external magnetic fields, as well as the
combination of subsystems. The spin current component Izs is
independent on time, while the spin current components Ixs and
Iys evolve with time sinusoidally. The rotating magnetic field
induces novel levels due to the spin splitting and photon
absorption procedures. The suppression and enhancement of resonant
peaks, and semiconductor-metal phase transition are observed by
studying the differential conductance through tuning the
source-drain bias and photon energy. The magnetic flux induces
Aharonov-Bohm oscillation, and it controls the tunnelling behavior
due to adjusting the flux. The Fano type of multi-resonant
behaviors are displayed in the conductance structures by
adjusting the gate voltage Vg and the Zeeman field
applied to the QD. 相似文献
