Popis: We examine the optical and electronic properties of a GaAs spherical quantum dot with a hydrogenic impurity in its center. We study two different confining potentials: (1) a modified Gaussian potential and (2) a power-exponential potential. Using the finite difference method, we solve the radial Schrodinger equation for the 1s and 1p energy levels and their probability densities and subsequently compute the optical absorption coefficient (OAC) for each confining potential using Fermi’s golden rule. We discuss the role of different physical quantities influencing the behavior of the OAC, such as the structural parameters of each potential, the dipole matrix elements, and their energy separation. Our results show that modification of the structural physical parameters of each potential can enable new optoelectronic devices that can leverage inter-sub-band optical transitions.
