Abstract:
We investigate 3D quantum dot-double quantum ring structures of GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As submitted to the combined action of a non-resonant intense laser and an axial magnetic field. We study three representative geometries with the dot height larger, comparable or lower than the ring height. The intense laser field can change the confinement potential of the dot-double ring into dot-triple-ring or -multiple-ring potentials. Also, depending on the dot height, it increases/decreases the absorption of the structure. Under magnetic field, the energy spectra display Aharonov-Bohm oscillations characteristic of a single effective ring covering almost both rings, with a period controlled by the dot height. For large and medium dot height, the magnetic field lowers the absorption and leads to splitting and/or the apparition of two peaks, one that goes to red and the other to blue. In the presence of both fields, the spectra show different characteristics. The dot height and the external fields are thus proved to be efficient tools in controlling the absorption spectra, a useful feature in designing dot-double ring-based devices.

Molecular Spectroscopy: Absorption and Emission
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
