Abstract
The current study looks at how the Kratzer confinement potential affects the linear, third-order nonlinear, and total optical absorption coefficients (ACs) of a single electron in a multilayered spherical quantum dot (MSQD) by using the finite element method within the effective mass approximation. The variation of the transition energy has been investigated for two allowed transitions, 1p-2s and 2s-2p. Furthermore, we investigated the variation of the linear, third-order nonlinear, and total optical absorption coefficients as a function of the incident photon energy for several transitions while accounting for the effect of the Kratzer confinement potential. The findings show that the optical ACs and transition energy are strongly influenced by the Kratzer confinement potential.
