Absorption Coefficient of a Delta-Doped Layer Inside Three Quantum Wells Subjected to an Electric Field
摘要
In the present chapter, we solve the coupled Schrödinger-Poisson equation for a system consisting of three coupled quantum wells with an n-type \(\delta \) -layer, subjected to an external electric field along the z-direction. The equation is solved using the FEniCS Project within the effective mass approximation. The transition energy of the first five states shows a dependence on the electric field, which affects the absorption coefficient position and amplitude, both of which are related to the position of the \(\delta \) -layer. These findings have potential applications in transistors and solar cells, where the tuning of electronic and optical properties is crucial for device performance.
