An exciton in a spherical quantum dot is studied analytically within the effective mass approximation. A parabolic confinement under an electric field is considered. The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients are calculated within the density matrix formalism. No assumptions are made about the strength of the confinement. It is shown how the competing mechanisms of the Coulomb interaction, the confinement and the applied static electric field affect the optical absorption.

MAGNETIC-FIELD DEPENDENCE OF HYDROGENIC IMPURITY STATES IN A QUANTUM-WELL WIRE ELSAID, M; Tomak, Mehmet (1991-02-01) The binding energy for on-centre impurities in a rectangular quantum well wire is calculated as a function of the width of the wire and perpendicular magnetic field. The results for zero-magnetic-field cases are in perfect agreement with previous calculations.
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...
Nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures Yıldırım, Hasan; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2006) The nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures, such as GaAsAl/GaAs alloys, are studied with analytic and numerical methods on the basis of quantum mechanics. Particularly, second and third-order nonlinear optical properties of quantum wells described by the various types of confining potentials are considered within the density matrix formalism. We consider a Pöschl-Teller type potential which has been rarely considered in this area. It has a tunable asymmetry parameter, making it a goo...
Ni-55 nanocluster: a density functional theory study of the binding energy of nickel and ethylene adsorption Yilmazer, Nusret Duygu; Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2012-01-01) Ethylene adsorption on a Ni-55 nanocluster was studied by Weal IS of the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP using the basis sets of 6-31G(d,p) and 86-411(41d)G in Gaussian 03. The Ni-55 nanocluster was found to have a distorted icosahedral geometry, in accordance with the experimental findings. The binding energy value for the Ni-55 nanocluster was calculated to be 3.51 eV/atom using equilibrium geometry calculations. The estimated bulk nickel binding energy was in reasonable agreement with the experimen...
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.
