Abstract:

In this work, we have studied the miniband and minigaps of GaN/AlN constant total effective radius multi-shells quantum dots (CTER-MSQDs) and Rings (CTERMSQRs).We have investigated effects of the Hydrogenic donor impurities, quantum dots and rings radii, and the number of wells on miniband formation by sub-band energy calculations. We show that in these systems, minigaps can be created and then disappeared when the number of wells increases. We observe that cylindrical CTER-MSQDs have one miniband more than the spherical CTER-MSQD. However, minibands of the cylindrical CTER-MSQD are wider. For cylindrical systems, the first minigap position can undertake a blue shift but for spherical systems, we can not observe this fact. The first minigap position undertakes moreblue shifts when the inner QD radius R1 increases. Thus, the number of wells, Hydrogenic donor impurities, and quantum dot & ring radii can be used as tuning tools to have a system with the typical number of minibands and minigaps with desired widths.

Binding energy of hydrogenic impurities in quantum dots under intense laser radiation.

We calculate the binding energy of on- and off-center hydrogenic impurities in a parabolic quantum dot subjected to an intense high-frequency laser field. An exactly solvable model that replaces the actual Coulomb interaction with the donor by a non-local separable potential is introduced for calculating the binding energy. The separable potential allows us to solve the problem exactly and all ...

The binding energy of donor impurities in GaAs quantum dots under the pressure effect

Calculations of the binding energy of an on-center and off-center shallow hydrogenic impurity in a GaAs quantum dot under hydrostatic pressure are presented. The variational approach within the effective mass approximation is used as the framework for this calculation. The effect of the pressure is to exert an additional confinement on the impurity inside the dot; therefore the binding energy i...

Evidence for formation of multi-quantum dots in hydrogenated graphene

We report the experimental evidence for the formation of multi-quantum dots in a hydrogenated single-layer graphene flake. The existence of multi-quantum dots is supported by the low-temperature measurements on a field effect transistor structure device. The resulting Coulomb blockade diamonds shown in the color scale plot together with the number of Coulomb peaks exhibit the characteristics of...

Quantum Mechanics of Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Rings

The progress of semiconductor physics in the decade 1970-1980 is connected with gradual deviation from the electronic band structure of ideal crystal of Bloch picture (Bloch, 1928) where, unlike atomic world with its discrete and precisely defined, in the limits of uncertainty relation, energy levels, energy of bound electron is a multivalued function of momentum in the energy band and density ...

Combined effects of pressure, temperature, and magnetic field on the ground state of donor impurities in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum heterostructure

In the present work, the exact diagonalization method had been implemented to calculate the ground state energy of shallow donor impurity located at finite distance along the growth axis in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure in the presence of a magnetic field taken to be along z direction. The impurity binding energy of the ground state had been calculated as a function of confining frequency and mag...
