Influence of Quantum Confinement on the Photoemission From Nonlinear Optical Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of nonlinear optical materials, respectively on the basis of a newly derived electron dispersion law considering all types of anisotropies within the framework of k.p. formalism. It is found, taking CdGeAs2, GaAs and InAs, as exmaples, that the photoemission increase with increasing photon energy in a ladder like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration with film thickness respectively for all types of quantum confinement. The photoemission current density is greatest in QDs and least in QWWs. In addition, the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.
