Polaron Effects on the Third-Order Susceptibility of a CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dot Quantum Well
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theoretical investigation of the polaron effects on the third-order susceptibility associated with the intersubband transition in the conduction band in a CdSe/ZnS quantum dot quantum well is presented. Contributions from the confined longitudinal optical (LO) and surface optical phonon modes are considered and the wave function is derived under the frame work of the perturbation theory. We carried a detailed calculation of third-harmonic generation (THG), Quadratic electro-optic effects (QEOE), and electro-absorption (EA) process on such a quantum dot as a function of pump photon energy with different incident photon energy and under different sizes. The results reveal that the polaron effects are quite important especially around the peak value of the third-order susceptibility. By increasing the size of the quantum dots, the peaks of χ THG, χ (3) QEOE, and χ (3) EA will shift to the lower energy, and the intensities of the peaks will increase.

متن کاملP-156: A Study about Toxicity of CdSe Quantum Dots on Male Sexual System of Mice and Controlling This Toxicity by ZnS Coverage in Immature Mice
Background: Quantum dots are commonly composed of cadmium contained semiconductors. Cadmium is potentially hazardous but toxicity of such quantum dots is not yet systematically investigated. On the other hand, in vitro studies have shown almost complete control of CdSe induced cytotoxicity by ZnS coverage. Toxicity of CdSe quantum dots and controlling this toxicity by ZnS coverage in immature m...

The one photon absorption (OPA) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (QD) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. Using the self-consistent non-equilibrium Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, we determine the dependence of OPA cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...
