Barrier Model

The donor ionization energies in a quantum well and quantum dot with finite and infinite barriers are estimated for different well dimensions. Using the effective mass (EM) approximation, calculations are presented with constant effective mass and position dependent effective masses that are different for finite and infinite cases. Our results reduce to an approximate form used by X. H. Qi et al., Phys. Rev. B58 (1998) 10578 in the finite barrier model and that of L. E. Oliveira and L. M. Falicov, Phys. Rev. B34 (1986) 8676 in the infinite barrier case. Results are presented by taking the GaAs quantum well as an example. The use of constant effective mass of 0.067m0 is justified for well dimensions ≥a* where a* is an effective Bohr radius which is about 100 Å. While Qi et al. found a maximum of 22% variation in the binding energies due to mass variation, we obtained nearly 100% variation when mass variations are included correctly.

The Magnetic Field

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.
