摘要: We report significant deviations from the usual quadratic dependence of ground-state interband transition energy on applied electric fields in single InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. While earlier works have used conventional second-order perturbation theory to claim a negative dipole moment presence external field, we show that this fails correctly describe Stark shift for field below $F=10\mathrm{k}\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{c}\mathrm{m}$ high Eight-band $\mathbf{k}\ensuremath{\cdot}\mathbf{p}$ calculations demonstrate effect is predominantly due three-dimensional strain distribution which various dot shapes and stoichiometric compositions drastically affect hole ground state.
