AbstractThe influence of substitutional chemical disorder, magenetic field and phasons, on the electronic spectrum and wave functions of icosahedral quasicrystals is investigated by means of tight-biding approximation and level statistic method. The results show that the localization of electronic states in an ideal quasictystal exists due to their coherent interfernce at the Fremi level which is caused by the symmetry and aperiodic long-range order.

Using a effect-barrier height method, we investigate the effect of coupling between normal and lateral degree of freedom of an electron on the localized electronic states at zero and finite magnetic fields perpendicular to interfaces in SL's with structural defect layer within the framework of effective-mass theory. The numerical calculations for GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs material show that minibands, minigaps and localized levels is obviously dependent on the transverse wave number kxy. Magneto-coupling effect brings about not only the splitting of the localized electron levels but also the definite dependence of the minibands, minigaps, localized levels and localization degree on magnetic field and Landau indices. It is believed that applying an appropriate magnetic field may provide a available way to control the minibands, minigaps and localized levels in structural defect superlattice's to match practice requirements.

A theoeritical study on the effect of a magnetic field or impurities on the carries states of self-assembled quantum dots is presented. The magnetic field is applied along the growth direction of the dots, and for comparison two systems are considered, InAs embeded in GaAs, and GaN in AlN. The electronic states and energy are calculated in the framework of the k.p theory in 8 bands including the strain and piezoelectric effects. Zeeman splitting and anticrossings are observed in InAs/GaAs, while the field introduces small changes in the nitrides. It is also included a study about hidrogen-like impurities, which may be negative or positive. It is noted that depending on the type of impurity, the confinement energy of carriers is changed, and the distribution of the probability density of the carriers is affected  too.
