研究目的
Investigating the influence of lateral and normal electric fields on the excited state energies of hydrogenic and non-hydrogenic donor impurities in a cylindrical quantum dot with parabolic potential, under the effect of electric field and temperature.
研究成果
The lateral electric field strongly affects the impurity state energies compared to the normal electric field. The binding energy of the impurity decreases with increasing the strength of the electric fields, and some excited states become unbound for certain values of the applied electric field strengths. The Stark shift in HDI ground state energy is more affected by the temperature in large CQDs than in small CQDs.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and does not include experimental validation. The effective-mass approximation is valid for dot sizes larger than 2–3 nm for GaAs QD.
