A variational approach is utilized to investigated the electron-impurity interaction in zinc-blende (In,Ga)N-GaN strained coupled quantum wells. The donor imputrity states are studied in consideration of the effects of hydrostatic pressure and external electric field. Our results indicate that the binding energy visibly depends on hydrostatic pressure, strain of coupled quantum wells, and applied electric field. The binding energy demonstrates a peak value with the reduction of the left-well width, and which displays a minimum value with the increment of the middle-barrier width. A decreasing behavior on the binding energy is also demonstrated when the right-well width enhances. Also the binding energy augments constantly with the increasing hydrostatic pressure. Besides, the dependency of the binding energy on variation of impurity position has been analyzed detailedly.

In the present paper, the binding energy of hydrogenic shallow-donor impurity in simple and double coupled quantum wells based on unstrained wurtzite (In,Ga)N/GaN is investigated. Considering the effective-mass and dielectric mismatches between the well and its surrounding matrix, the numerical calculations are performed within the framework of the parabolic band and the single band effective-mass approximations under the finite potential barrier using finite element method (FEM). According to our results, it appears that the main effect of the wells coupling is to enhance the binding energy. It is also obtained that the binding energy is strongly sensitive to the internal and external parameters and can be adjusted by the quantum well/barrier width, the impurity position and the internal Indium composition. Our results are in good agreement with the finding especially for those obtained by the variational approach.

Using a variational approach, we have investigated the effects of the hydrostatic pressure, the well dimension, impurity position and electric field direction on the binding energy of shallow donor impurities in GaAs/GaAlAs graded quantum well (GQW). We have found that the changes in donor binding energy in GQW strongly depend not only on the quantum confinement, but also on the hydrostatic pressure, on the direction of the electric field and on the impurity position.

The present work investigates the effects of the hydrostatic pressure and the external applied electric field on the binding energy for shallow donor impurities in GaAs–Ga 1 - x Al x As quantum wells. The effective mass approximation is used and a trial envelope wave function is adopted for the impurity carrier. For fixed well width and applied electric field, the binding energy of the shallow donor impurity is enhanced by increasing the external hydrostatic pressure, and for fixed well width and hydrostatic pressure, the binding energy decreases by increasing the external electric field.
