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.
