Abstract

The eigenvalues, transition energy, the linear and nonlinear dielectric functions have been numerically investigated for CdS/ZnS spherical core/shell quantum dots embedded in various dielectric matrices. The evaluation was carried out for three commonly used matrices, such as PVA, PMMA and SiO2. Calculations were done under the effective mass approximation and compact density matrix approach. Results revealed that the nonlinear optical property is strongly affected by the nature of the matrix material. By increasing core/shell radii ratio the energy states as well as the transition energy are decreasing. It is also indicated that the presence of the dielectric mismatch in the QD-matrix system can cause significant enhancement on the linear and third order nonlinear dielectric function.
