Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the inter-sublevel optical properties of a core/shell/well/shell spherical quantum dot with the form of quantum dot-quantum well heterostructure. In order to determine the energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions, the Schr\"{o}dinger equation has been solved full numerically by using shooting method in the effective mass approximation for a finite confining potential. The inter-sublevel optical absorption and the oscillator strength between ground (1s1s) and excited (1p1p) states have been examined based on the computed energies and wave functions. Also, the effect of a hydrogenic donor impurity, located at the center of the multi-shell spherical quantum dot (MSQD), has been researched for different core radii (R1R_1), shell thicknesses (TsT_s) and well widths (TwT_w) in certain potential. It is observed that the oscillator strengths and the absorption coefficients are strongly depend on the core radii and layer thicknesses of the MSQD.
