Abstract
ABSTRACTPressure-induced binding energies of an exciton and a biexciton are studied taking into account the geometrical confinement effect in a CdTe/ZnTe quantum dot. Coulomb interaction energy is obtained using Hartree potential. The energy eigenvalue and wave functions of exciton and the biexciton are obtained using the self-consistent technique. The effective mass approximation and BenDaniel-Duke boundary conditions are used in the self-consistent calculations. The pressure-induced nonlinear optical absorption coefficients for the heavy hole exciton and the biexciton as a function of incident photon energy for CdTe/ZnTe quantum dot are investigated. The optical gain coefficient with the injection current density, in the presence of various hydrostatic pressure values, is studied in a CdTe/ZnTe spherical quantum dot. The pressure-induced threshold optical pump intensity with the dot radius is investigated. The results show that the pressure-induced electronic and optical properties strongly depend on the spatial confinement effect.
