Self-Consistent Study of GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Wells with Modulated Doping
Abstract
In this work, the characterization and analysis of the physics of a GaAs quantum well with AlGaAs barriers were carried out, according to an interior doped layer. An analysis of the probability density, the energy spectrum, and the electronic density was performed using the self-consistent method to solve the Schrödinger, Poisson, and charge-neutrality equations. Based on the characterizations, the system response to geometric changes in the well width and to non-geometric changes, such as the position and with of the doped layer as well as the donor density, were reviewed. All second-order differential equations were solved using the finite difference method. Finally, with the obtained wave functions and energies, the optical absorption coefficient and the electromagnetically induced transparency between the first three confined states were calculated. The results showed the possibility of tuning the optical absorption coefficient and the electromagnetically induced transparency via changes to the system geometry and the doped-layer characteristics.
