Abstract
- In this work, effects of an on-center hydrogenic impurity, external electric and magnetic fields on the optical rectification coefficient (ORC), second and third harmonic generations (SHG and THG) of a multi-layer spherical quantum dot (MLSQD) are studied. Energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors are calculated using the direct matrix diagonalization method and optical properties are obtained using the compact density matrix approach. Our results reveal that the hydrogenic impurity and external fields have a great influence on these optical quantities. Hydrogenic impurity reduces the magnitude of the resonant peaks and shifts them to the higher energies. An increase in the magnetic (electric) field, leads to increase (decrease) the interval energies and the dipole moment matrix elements. Therefore, resonant peaks of these optical quantities find an obvious blue (red) shift and their magnitudes enhance (diminish) with increasing the external magnetic (electric) field.
