THz electro-absorption effect in quantum dots
Instantaneous electro-absorption effect in quantum dots, induced by electric field of THz pulse with 3 THz bandwidth is demonstrated in THz pump - optical probe experiment. This effect may be promising for Tbit/s wireless transmission systems
Hydrostatic pressure, impurity position and electric and magnetic field effects on the binding energy and photo-ionization cross section of a hydrogenic donor impurity in an InAs Pöschl-Teller quantum ring
Using the variational method and the effective mass and parabolic band approximations,
the behaviour of the binding energy and photo-ionization cross section of a
hydrogenic-like donor impurity in an InAs quantum ring, with Pöschl-Teller confinement
potential along the axial direction, has been studied. In the investigation, the combined
effects of hydrostatic pressure and electric and magnetic fields applied in the direction
of growth have been taken into account. Parallel polarization of the incident radiation
and several values of the applied electric and magnetic fields, hydrostatic pressure, and
parameters of the Pöschl-Teller confinement potential were considered. The results
obtained can be summarised as follows: (1) the influence of the applied electric and
magnetic fields and the asymmetry degree of the Pöschl-Teller confinement potential on the
donor binding energy is strongly dependent on the impurity position along the growth and
radial directions of the quantum ring, (2) the binding energy is an increasing function of
hydrostatic pressure and (3) the decrease (increase) in the binding energy with the
electric and magnetic fields and parameters of the confinement potential (hydrostatic
pressure) leads to a red shift (blue shift) of the maximum of the photo-ionization cross
section spectrum of the on-centre impurity
