We calculate the transmission and reflection coefficients by applying the boundary conditions along with the transfer matrix method. These coefficients help determine their probabilities by current densities and group delay times by their phases. We numerically show that the laser field plays a crucial role in this structure, as it completely suppresses Klein tunneling compared to the case without laser. Furthermore, in contrast to the Hartman effect, the group delay time becomes dependent on the barrier width with the appearance of additional peaks. This suggests that fermion-field interactions cause additional delays within the barrier and also help to reduce spin coupling. Adding BN layers increases the interval of transmission suppression and completely eliminates coupling after the addition of three BN layers.

The findings indicate that the resonant peaks of the optical third harmonic generation (THG) coefficient undergo a red shift as the impurity is displaced from the center of the CDQ towards the potential barrier. This shift can be attributed to a reduction in the average electrostatic interaction between the impurity and the surrounding ion as the impurity approaches the potential barrier. This phenomenon can be attributed to the decreased electrostatic attraction between the impurity and the quantum dot core as the impurity moves away from the center and approaches the region of higher potential confinement.
