We present the results of Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations based on accurate multiconfiguration wave functions for N electrons (N≤13) confined to a parabolic quantum dot. The density and correlation energies have been computed and compared with the predictions of local spin density approximation theory (LSDA). We also computed the addition energy a function of the number of electrons in the dot, and compared them with the results of LSDA and Hartree Fock calculations. DMC results show a behavior qualitatively closer to the result of recent capacitance experiments.

A study of variational wave functions for calculation of the ground-state energies of excitons confined in a two-dimensional (2D) disc-like and three-dimensional (3D) spherical parabolic GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is presented. We have used four variational trial wave functions constructed as the harmonic-oscillator basis multiplied by different correlation functions. The proposed correlation function formed by including linear expansion in terms of Hylleraas-like coordinates to the Jastrow factor is able to capture nearly exactly the ground-state energies of 3D excitons, and it properly account for the results of 2D excitons. Quantum Monte Carlo techniques combined with the proposed wave function are a powerful tool for studying excitons in parabolic QDs.

Diffusion Monte Carlo Method

Binding energies of biexcitons and charged excitons in GaAs/Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As quantum wires were calculated by the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The binding energy for the negatively charged excitons is enhanced strongly, because of the mismatch of the electron and the hole wave functions. The resulting biexciton binding energy reproduces experimental results quite well.
