Abstract
MONTES, A.; CANO, L. E. and PORTACIO, A. A.. Effect of the Aluminum Concentration on the Second Harmonic Generation in a Quantum Dot of AsGa / AsGa 1-x Al x. Ciencia en Desarrollo [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.1, pp.57-64. Epub Apr 26, 2023. ISSN 0121-7488. https://doi.org/10.19053/01217488.v13.n1.2022.13324.
The effect of aluminum concentration on the second harmonic generation (SHG) in a cylindrical quantum dot (CQD) is studied theoretically, using the density matrix formalism and a perturbative procedure. The energy levels and wave functions of an electron in the CQD were obtained by solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation in the framework of the effective mass approximation. Numerical calculations are performed for a CQD of GaAs/Al1-xGaxAs. It was found that the increase in the aluminum concentration produces a decrease in the intensity of the SHG and a blue shift in the resonant peaks of the optical response of the object of study.
