We report on the nonlinear optical properties of a quantum dot including the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) with external electric and magnetic fields. The effect of dot size is considered. We do not make any assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We use the numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian to determine the electronic structure. The confining potential is taken to be of the Woods-Saxon type. We find the effect of RSOI on nonlinear optical coefficients.

Exciton related nonlinear optical properties of a spherical quantum dot Aksahin, E.; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-11-01) The nonlinear optical properties of an exciton in a spherical quantum dot (QD) is studied analytically. The nonlinear optical coefficients are calculated within the density matrix formalism. The electronic problem is solved within the effective mass approximation. The contributions from the competing effects of the confinement, the Coulomb interaction, and the applied electric field are calculated and compared with each other. We have made no assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We concentrate...
Spin force and torque in non-relativistic Dirac oscillator on a sphere Shikakhwa, M. S. (2018-03-30) The spin force operator on a non-relativistic Dirac oscillator (in the non-relativistic limit the Dirac oscillator is a spin one-half 3D harmonic oscillator with strong spin-orbit interaction) is derived using the Heisenberg equations of motion and is seen to be formally similar to the force by the electromagnetic field on a moving charged particle. When confined to a sphere of radius R, it is shown that the Hamiltonian of this non-relativistic oscillator can be expressed as a mere kinetic energy operator w...
Interacting electrons in a 2D quantum dot Akman, N; Tomak, Mehmet (1999-04-01) The exact numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian of a 2D circular quantum dot is performed for 2, 3, and 4 electrons. The results an compared with those of the perturbation theory. Our numerical results agree reasonably well for small values of the dimensionless coupling constant lambda = a/a(B) where a is the dot radius and a(B) is the effective Bohr radius. Exact diagonalization results are compared with the classical predictions, and they are found to be almost coincident for large lambda values.
Nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller quantum well under electric and magnetic fields AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (2012-04-01) The nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller Quantum well (PTQW) under electric and magnetic fields are studied. The salient feature of this potential is its flexibility. It can be made asymmetrical by a proper choice of its two parameters. Optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation susceptibilities are calculated using the density matrix formalism. We study the effects of quantum confinement, electric and magnetic fields on all of these optical coefficients.
Energy spectrum of a 2D Dirac oscillator in the presence of a constant magnetic field and an antidot potential Akçay, Hüseyin; Sever, Ramazan (2016-07-04) We investigate the energy spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions of a 2D Dirac oscillator confined by an antidot potential in the presence of a magnetic field and Aharonov-Bohm flux field. Analytical solutions are obtained and compared with the results of the Schrodinger equation found in the literature. Further, the dependence of the spectrum on the magnetic quantum number and on the repulsive potential is discussed.
