Abstract

The study of confined quantum systems exhibit distinct behavior compared to that in bulk solids. This enables the design of materials with tunable chemical, physical, electrical and optical properties. In this paper, the effect of quantum confinement energy on the optical properties (gap energy, refractive index) of semiconductors gallium nitrate (GaN) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) is studied. The study is done using the MATLAB computer program (20a). This software is based on the Brus model and the particle in-a-box model. The results indicate that the optical properties depend on the quantum confinement energy, with an increase in quantum confinement energy corresponding to an increase in the energy gap and a decrease in refractive index.
