Abstract

Intraband transitions in Si/SiO2 quantum dots (QD's) are addressed in this work. We found that external electric fields (FEXT) strongly affect the absorbing properties of large QD's (> 5 nm) by creating additional absorption peaks. Moreover, the anisotropic nature and degeneracy of Si band structure couples with the shape of QD's such that the absorption coefficient response to FEXT becomes highly anisotropic for non-spherical shapes.
