In
given article direct optical absorption in cylindrical quantum dot
with rectangular infinitely high confinement potential is
theoretically investigated.
According to
[1]
absorption coefficient is defined by the formula
,
where
( is
the width of forbidden band),
is
the frequency of incident
light,
index
refers to electron, h
index refers to the hole,
is
a
quantity,
proportional to the square of dipole momentum matrix
element modulus, taken on Bloch functions.
The corresponding selection rules for
optical transitions are defined. The expressions for absorption
threshold frequencies are found. The obtained results are compared
with the case of light direct optical absorption in spherical
quantum dot.
