Özet

In this paper, we theoretically investigated the combined effects of the external electric field (EF) strength and the geometric parameters on the linear, nonlinear and total dielectric functions as well as the effective dielectric function (DF) coefficients of PbS/CdS spherical core/shell quantum dots (CSQD) in the presence of the hydrogenic impurity located at the center. The subband energy eigenvalues and their corresponding wave functions are obtained by solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation and using the variational method (VM) in the framework of the effective mass approximation (EMA). The linear, nonlinear and total DF as well as the effective DF were discussed and evaluated under the influence of EF intensity, geometric parameters, the change of the number of quantum dots (QDs) per unit volume and optical intensity I based on the compact density matrix (CDM) approach. The obtained results show that the height peaks of the linear, nonlinear and Total DF as well as the effective DF coefficients increase and their resonant peak moves towards lower energies as the EF and geometric factors increase in both cases with and without considering the hydrogenic impurity effect. Furthermore, our findings show that the impact of optical intensity and the number of QDs per unit volume does not change the resonance peaks of imaginary parts of DF and effective DF but decreases their magnitudes. As a result, we believe that numerical results will present important developments and provide great contributions in designing new optoelectronic devices related to CSQD hetero-nanostructure.
