Pressure effect on optical properties of modified Gaussian quantum dots

摘要

In the present work, we intend to study the pressure effect on optical properties of spherical quantum dots by using the modified Gaussian potential. In this regard, the linear, nonlinear and total intersubband absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are investigated for different hydrostatic pressures. According to the results obtained from the present work, it is deduced that: (i) the linear, nonlinear and total refractive index changes decrease and shift towards higher energies when the pressure increases and (ii) the linear, nonlinear and total absorption coefficients increase and shift towards higher energies by increasing the pressure.
