研究目的
To simplify the evaluation of ground state energy of carriers in pyramid-shaped quantum dots, taking the advantage of the variational method.
研究成果
The variational method using a Gaussian trial wavefunction provides accurate results for the ground state energy of carriers in pyramid-shaped quantum dots with a constant confining potential, with an error not exceeding 2% of the potential well depth. The method significantly reduces calculation time compared to conventional numerical approaches and does not require special software.
研究不足
The method is initially developed for a constant confining potential within a single-band model. Deviations from a constant potential and the consideration of multi-band models require further perturbations or generalizations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The variational method is employed using a Gaussian trial wavefunction to estimate the ground state energy in pyramidal quantum dots. The method involves minimizing an analytical function of three trial function parameters.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focuses on pyramidal quantum dots with a square base, considering a constant potential inside the quantum dot and zero potential outside.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The method does not require any special software or physical equipment, as it is a theoretical approach.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The problem of finding the ground state energy is reduced to the minimization of an analytical function of three trial function parameters. The minimization is performed using standard computational tools.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The accuracy of the variational approach is checked by comparing it with the numerical solution of the Schr?dinger equation.
