摘要
We theoretically explore spherical, cylindrical and conical CdSe quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnSe. The electronic states close to the fundamental gap are of specific interest and depend on the details of the structures. Therefore, there is a need to have a very flexible method to study QDs of different shapes and sizes. To solve the Schrodinger equation in the envelope function approximation, we employ the Finite Element Method (FEM). This is a very convenient method, and can be used to study QDs of any geometry and size. We have also implemented a procedure to calculate the oscillator strengths of the inter-band transitions and in this work we report on the electronic states and the optical transitions. Systematic comparisons are made between the studied QDs as well as comparison with experimental and other calculated findings.
