Influência da deslocação parafuso no coeficiente de absorção ótico e na frequência de absorção limiar.

Abstract

The influence of screw dislocations in quantum systems has received considerable attention in recent years. Some works are based on the geometric theory of defects in semiconductors and developed by Katanaev Volovich. In this approach the semiconductor with a screw dislocation is described by a variety of Riemann-Cartan where the screw dislocation is associated with the Burgers vector. This limit of the continuum, a screw displacement affects a quantum system as an isolated magnetic flux tube, causing phenomena of interference type Aharonov-Bohm (AB). The electron energy spectrum around this type of defect shows a configuration similar to the AB system. In this work, we investigated the influence of a screw dislocation on the energy levels and the wavefunctions of an electron confined in a two-dimensional pseudoharmonic quantum dot under the influence of an external magnetic field inside a dot and Aharonov-Bohm field inside a pseudodot. The exact solutions for energy eigenvalues and wavefunctions are computed as functions of applied uniform magnetic field strength, Aharonov-Bohm flux, magnetic quantum number and the parameter characterizing the screw dislocation, the Burgers vector. We investigate the modifications due to the screw dislocation on the light interband absorption coefficient and absorption threshold frequency. We found that as the Burgers vector increases, the curves of frequency are pushed up towards of the growth of it. One interesting aspect which we have observed is that the Aharonov-Bohm flux can be tuned in order to cancel the screw effect of the model.
