Photoionization of impurities in heterojunctions

The spectral dependence of the photoionization cross-section is calculated for shallow donors in GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunctions. The resulting spectra is found to be different for light polarized along and perpendicular to the growth direction. The calculations are repeated for both infinite- and finite-barrier models.     

Time-Domain Mapping of Electromagnetic Ray Movement Inside Anisotropic Spherical Resonator

This paper presents the analytical proof of Time-Domain Mapping Method for the spherical resonator made up of uniaxial crystal. In this way, the main types of caustics inside the spherical resonator made up of uniaxial crystal, which were investigated numerically before, are confirmed analytically. It is engraved that the problem of the ray flow inside the spherical resonator can be reduced to the problem of the ray flow inside metal cavity shaped as spheroid.     

Linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorptions in an asymmetric rectangular quantum well

The linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorptions in Al_xlGa_1-xlAs/GaAs/Al_xr Ga_1-xrAs asymmetric rectangular quantum well are studied within the framework of the density matrix formalism. We have calculated the electron energy levels and the envelope wave functions using the effective mass approach. In addition, we have obtained an expression for saturation intensity. It is shown that the parameters such as asymmetry and width of potential well not only shift the peak positions in absorption spectrum but also considerably modify their height. These results suggest that the absorption process can be easily controlled by the structure parameters of an asymmetric rectangular quantum well. Also, the incident optical intensity has a great effect on the total absorption spectrum. We have seen that the absorption peak is reduced by half when the optical intensity is approximately 0.8 MW/cm² for well width L=90 ? and β=0.5. Moreover, it is seen that the saturation intensity is quite sensitive to the structure parameters of an asymmetric rectangular quantum well. Thus, the results presented here can be useful for electro-optical modulators and photodetectors in the infrared region.     

Can Sobolev Inequality Be Written for Sharma-Mittal Entropy?

In this paper, we focus on Sobolev inequality in the context of Sharma-Mittal entropy. Using this new inequality, generalized entropic uncertainty relation in accordance with Sharma-Mittal entropy is derived and the pseudoadditivity relation has been obtained. This new entropic uncertainty relation has then been applied to physical examples such as one dimensional harmonic oscillator and Pösch-Teller potential. Finally, it has been shown that for certain values of the parameters of Sharma-Mittal measure, the present results reduce to the corresponding results of Shannon, Renyi and Tsallis measures.     

Enabling e-transactions with multi-attribute preference models

This paper describes potential applications of multi-attribute preference models (MAPM) in e-commerce and offers some guidelines for their implementation. MAPM are methodologies for modeling complex preferences that depend on more than one attribute or criterion, and include multi-attribute utility theory, conjoint analysis, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. There are numerous examples of applications in e-commerce that would benefit from the acquisition of information regarding the preferences of a consumer, a customer, an advice seeker, or a decision maker. Here, the focus is on applications of MAPM models in B2C and B2B websites, where preferences of consumers are assessed for the purpose of identifying products or services that closely match their needs.     

Exciton related optical absorption in a spherical quantum dot

An exciton in a spherical quantum dot is studied analytically within the effective mass approximation. A parabolic confinement under an electric field is considered. The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients are calculated within the density matrix formalism. No assumptions are made about the strength of the confinement. It is shown how the competing mechanisms of the Coulomb interaction, the confinement and the applied static electric field affect the optical absorption.

The Wigner molecule in a 2D quantum dot

The charge density and pair correlation function of three interacting electrons confined within a two-dimensional disc-like hard-wall quantum dot are calculated by full numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formation of a Wigner molecule in the form of equilateral triangular configuration for electrons is observed as the size of the dot is increased.     

Optical absorption of a quantum well with an adjustable asymmetry

The effects of asymmetry and the electric field on the electronic subbands and the nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of GaAs quantum wells represented by a P?schl-Teller confining potential are studied. The potential itself can be made asymmetric through a correct choice of its parameter set and this adjustable asymmetry is important for optimizing the absorption. In that way optimal cases can be created. We calculate the modified wave functions and electronic subbands variationally. The linear and the nonlinear optical intersubband absorption coefficients are calculated. Numerical results for a typical GaAs quantum well are presented. The nonlinear part of the absorption coefficient is strongly modified by the asymmetry parameters while the electric field affects it at smaller values of the parameters. - 78.67.De Quantum wells     

Optical Ray Movement Inside Dielectric Sphere

The paper presents results of numerical investigations of electromagnetic (optical) ray propagation inside a sphere, made of optically uniaxial crystal. The types of caustics formed by the ray trajectory inside the sphere are cleared up. It has been demonstrated the difference between types of caustics formed by the extraordinary ray trajectory inside the sphere made of optically positive and negative crystals. Results are discussed on the basis of one-to-one mapping of 2D billiard problem inside isotropic region bounded by ellipse onto anisotropic one.
