Nonparabolic effects in multiple quantum well structures and influence of external magnetic field on dipole matrix elements

Abstract

We present a method of modeling of nonparabolic effects (NPE) in quantum nanostructures by using second order perturbation theory. We apply this model on multiple quantum well structures and consider the influence of external magnetic
field on dipole matrix element which is usually considered constant. The dipole matrix element directly influences the optical gain, and our model can provide a better insight to how NPE and magnetic field influence the gain of quantum nanostructures.
