摘要: Abstract In this paper, a numerical approach for calculating interband optical transitions of an InxGa1−xAs/GaAs conical shaped quantum dot is presented with different mole fraction. The electronic structure was calculated by solving one-band effective-mass Schrodinger equation taking into account the strain effects. simulations are performed employing finite element method in cylindrical co-ordinates. wetting layer thickness and QD height effects on S P bands energies also investigated to be guidance optimal design optoelectronic devices. obtained results indicate red shift photoluminescence spectra increasing which good agreement experimental data.
