The Energy Absorption Rate for Three Metal Nano-ellipsoids in a Three-Dimensional Hybrid System

Abstract

We study the properties of the three-dimensional hybrid system consisting of three metal nano-ellipsoids and semiconductor quantum dots. Our objective is to determine the energy absorption rate of the three metal nano-ellipsoids caused by the indirect contribution of the interaction between the semiconductor quantum dot and the three metal nano-ellipsoids. We compare two situations for the direction of the three external fields and the dipole moment of MNEs. We found that the energy absorption rate depends on the three semi-axes and therefore the polarizability of the three metal nano-ellipsoids. Moreover, the distance between the semiconductor quantum dot and the three metal nano-ellipsoid affects the energy absorption rate. We illustrated that the Rabi frequency of the first external field significantly influences the energy absorption rate.
