Özet

In the current study, linear, nonlinear and total relative refractive index changes of a single shallow hydrogenic donor atom confined in semiconductor core/shell/shell quantum dot heterostructure are investigated in detail by compact density matrix formalism. For this purpose, the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions are calculated by diagonalization method in the effective mass approximation. Then, intersubband 1s→1p and 1p→1d donor transition energies are calculated. In the study, the effects of core/shell sizes, donor position and depth of confinement potential are analyzed. The numerical results show that the linear and nonlinear refractive index changes undergo significant changes.
