Electronic structure and optical properties of quantum rings with dipolar impurities under Aharonov–Bohm flux
摘要
Quantum rings exhibit rich physical properties due to quantum confinement and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) oscillations. While impurity-free and central-impurity rings have been widely studied, the role of anisotropic dipolar impurities remains less explored. In this work, we develop a theoretical model for a quantum ring containing a dipolar impurity under AB flux. Analytical solutions are obtained for the energy spectrum and wavefunctions, and the density-matrix formalism is employed to evaluate linear and nonlinear optical responses, including absorption, refractive index changes, and harmonic generation. Our study emphasizes the combined effect of flux periodicity and impurity-induced anisotropy as dual control parameters, highlighting the potential of dipolar impurity quantum rings for tunable nanoscale optoelectronic and photonic applications.
