Based on the the effective mass approximation and variational approach, the donor impurity states confined in self-formed GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum rings (QRs) are investigated theoretically. A uniform electric field is applied along the growth direction of the QR. The different effective masses in the different regions of the GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs QR are taken into consideration. Numerical results show that the binding energy of a donor impurity increases gradually, reaches a maximum value, and then decreases quickly to the special value as the QR height decreases. Given a fixed QR size, the binding energy increases for the impurity located at the center of the QR when the Al composition increases. In addition, it can also be found that when the applied electric field strength increases, the donor binding energy increases for impurities localized at the negative z axis of the QR; however, the donor binding energy decreases slightly for impurities located at the center and positive z axis of the QR.

In this paper we present exact numerical procedure to calculate the binding energy and wave function of impurity states in a quantum dot with parabolic confinement. The developed method allows control the accuracy of obtained results, as well as calculates the characteristics of not only ground state, but also of the excited states. Comparison of our results with data obtained by other methods is in quantitative and qualitative agreement. We studied the effects of impurity position on the binding energy.

The binding energy of a shallow hydrogenic impurity of a spherical quantum dot confined by harmonic oscillator-like and by rectangular well-like potentials, using a variational procedure within the effective mass approximation, has been determined. The calculations of the binding energy of the donor impurity as a function of the system geometry, and the donor impurity position have been investigated. The binding energy of shallow donor impurity depends not only on the quantum confinements but also on the impurity position. Our results reveal that (i) the donor binding energy decreases as the dot size increases irrespective of the impurity position, and (ii) the binding energy values of rectangular confinement are larger than the values of parabolic confinement and (iii) the rectangular confinement is better than the parabolic confinement in a spherical quantum dot.

Based on the effective-mass approximation and variational procedure, the ground-state donor binding energy in a cylindrical zinc-blende InxGa1-xN/GaN symmetric coupled quantum dots (SCQDs) is investigated in the presence of the external electric field. Numerical results show that the donor binding energy increases firstly until a maximum value, and then it begins to drop quickly in all the cases with decreasing the dot radius. As the thickness of left dot and right dot decreases, the donor binding energy increases monotonically at first, reaches a maximum value, and then drops rapidly for an impurity ion located at the right dot center and the middle barrier center. Moreover, the donor binding energy for an impurity ion located at the center of the left dot is insensitive to the variation of dot thickness for large dot thickness due to the Stark effect. Meanwhile, the impurity position plays an important role on the change of the donor binding energy under the external electric field. In particular, the impurity position corresponding to the peak value of the donor binding energy is shifted toward the left QD with increasing the external electric field strength.
