The binding energy of excitons in quantum well wires of GaAs surrounded by Ga 1-x Al x As was calculated in an effective mass approximation with the use of the variational approach. Results obtained show that the exciton binding energies depend on the sizes of the wire and the strength of the magnetic field. The exciton theory was then used to calculate the linear absorption coefficient of HH1–C1 excitons by varying the wire dimensions and magnetic field values.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we studied the thermoelectric power under classically large magnetic field (TPM) in quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWS) and quantum dots (QDs) of Bi by formulating the respective electron dispersion laws. The TPM increases with increasing film thickness in an oscillatory manner in all the cases. The TPM in QD is greatest and the least for quantum wells respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.
