Abstract

The effect of electric field on exciton states and optical properties in zinc-blende (ZB) InGaN/GaN quantum dot (QD) are investigated theoretically in the framework of effective-mass envelop function theory. Numerical results show that the electric field leads to a remarkable reduction of the ground-state exciton binding energy, interband transition energy, oscillator strength and linear optical susceptibility in InGaN/GaN QD. It is also found that the electric field effects on exciton states and optical properties are much more obvious in QD with large size. Moreover, the ground-state exciton binding energy and oscillator strength are more sensitive to the variation of indium composition in InGaN/GaN QD with small indium composition. Some numerical results are in agreement with the experimental measurements.
