Optical Absorption and Electroabsorption Related to Electronic and Single Dopant Transitions in Holey Elliptical GaAs Quantum Dots

The electron states in a holey elliptically shaped GaAs quantum dot are investigated within the effective mass scheme with the use of the adiabatic approximation and the finite element method. The effects of a donor impurity center and an applied electric field are particularly taken into account. Electron-impurity energies are reported as functions of both the geometry of the quantum dot and the applied field intensity, whereas temperature effects are also included. The analysis of electron-impurity intersubband transitions allows the investigation of the light absorption response of the system.
