Abstract

In this research, structural, electronic and optical properties of ANBN quantum dots (QD) with N = 2,3,4 in the absence and presence of Cu impurity atom have been investigated based on density functional theory and using Siesta computational code. Local density approximation (LDA) is used for exchange–correlation functional. The band structure shows that ANBN QD structures have a semiconductor behavior. By adding Cu atom, a cross band with the Fermi level can be seen in the band structure, therefore, ANBN QD structures show semi-metallic behavior in the presence of Cu atom. The study of the optical properties of ANBN quantum dots and the calculation of their dielectric function, absorption coefficients and refractive index have been realized. Examining the optical results confirms that the transition threshold energy of quantum dots corresponds to their band gap value.
