Impurity states in a spherical GaAs–Ga1-x AlxAs quantum dots: Effects of hydrostatic pressure

We calculated the binding energies of shallow donors and acceptors in a spherical GaAs–Ga${}_{1-x}$Al${}_x$As quantum dot under isotropic hydrostatic pressure for both a finite and an infinitely high barrier. We use a variational approach within the effective mass approximation. The binding energy is computed as a function of hydrostatic pressure, the dot sizes and the impurity position. The results show that the impurity binding energy increases with the pressure for any position of the impurity. We have also found that the binding energy depends on the location of the impurity and the pressure effects are less pronounced for impurities on the edge.     

Effects of geometry,applied hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field on the electron–hole transition energy in a GaAs–Ga1−xAlxAs pillbox immersed in a system of Ga1−yAlyAs

In this work, we study the behavior of the electron–hole transition energy in a GaAs–Ga_1?xAl_xAs pillbox immersed in a system of Ga_1?yAl_yAs as a function of thickness of the ladder barrier potential for a fixed length of the pillbox, length of the pillbox, thickness of the ladder barriers and pillbox position in the host of Ga_1?yAl_yAs. The behavior of the electron–hole transition energy as a function of an applied hydrostatic pressure and an applied magnetic field is also studied. For both electron and hole we found that in the strong confinement regime (L?10 Å) energy of the ground state as function of the position of the pillbox relative to the ladder barrier potential presents a behavior similar to the binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in quantum wells, quantum wires and quantum dots [L. Esaki, R. Tsu, IBM J. Res. Dev. 14 (1970) 61; G. Bastard, Phys. Rev. B 24 (1981) 4714; N. Porras-Montenegro, J. López-Gondar, L.E. Oliveira, Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 1824]. Electron–heavy hole transition energies increase with the applied magnetic field. Also, we have found that these transition energies, as a function of the applied hydrostatic pressure, present an excellent agreement with experimental reports by Venkateswaran et al. [phys. Rev. B 33 (1986) 8416].     

Binding energy of shallow donors in asymmetrical systems of quantum wells

The dependence of the binding energy of a shallow donor impurity on its position in an asymmetrical system of tunnel-coupled quantum wells is mainly determined by the structure of the one-electron envelope functions and the difference between the dielectric constants of the quantum-well and barrier materials. An effective technique is suggested for calculating the binding energies and envelope functions of the shallow donor states in type-I heterostructures with narrow wells and barriers. We present the results of calculations for Al_xGa_1−x As-GaAs structures with two or more quantum wells without imposing any restrictions on the ratios of their sizes. Fiz. Tekh.

Pressure influence on bound polarons in a strained wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1-xN heterojunction under an electric field

The binding energies of bound polarons near the interface of a strained wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1-xN heterojunction are studied by using a modified LLP variational method and a simplified coherent potential approximation under hydrostatic pressure and an external electric field.Considering the biaxial strain due to lattice mismatch or epitaxial growth,the uniaxial strain effects and the influences of the electron-phonon interaction as well as impurity-phonon interaction including the effects of interface-optical phonon modes and half-space phonon modes,the binding energies as functions of pressure,the impurity position,areal electron density and the phonon effect on the Stark energy shift are investigated.The numerical result shows that the contributions from the interface optical phonon mode with higher frequency and the LO-like half space mode to the binding energy and the Stark energy shift are important and obviously increase with increasing hydrostatic pressure,whereas the interface optical phonon mode with lower frequency and the TO-like half space mode are extremely small and are insensitive to the impurity position and hydrostatic pressure.It is also shown that the conductive band bending should not be neglected.

Effects of electron- and impurity-ion-LO phonon couples on the impurity states in cylindrical quantum wires

The variational method and the effective mass approximation are used to calculate the phonon effects on the hydrogenic impurity states in a cylindrical quantum wire with finite deep potential by taking both the couplings of the electron-confined bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonons and the impurity-ion-LO phonons into account.The binding energies and the phonon contributions are calculated as functions of the transverse dimension of the quantum wire. The results show that the polaronic effect induced by the electron-LO phonon coupling and the screening effect induced by the impurity-ion-LO phonon coupling tend to compensate each other and the total effects reduce the impurity binding energies.     

Shallow acceptors in strained Ge/Ge1−x Six heterostructures with quantum wells

The energies of localized acceptor states in quantum wells (strained Ge layers in Ge/Ge_1?x Si_x heterostructures) were analyzed theoretically in relation to the quantum well width and the impurity position in the well. The impurity absorption spectrum in the far IR range is calculated. Comparison of the results of the calculation with experimental photoconductivity spectra allows an estimation of the acceptor distribution in the quantum well to be made. In particular, it was concluded that acceptors may largely concentrate near the heterointerfaces. The absorption spectrum is calculated taking into account the resonance impurity states. This allows the features observed in the short-wavelength region of the spectrum to be interpreted as being due to transitions into the resonance energy levels “linked” to the upper size-quantization subbands.     

Effects of hydrostatic pressure and external electric field on the impurity binding energy in strained GaN/AlxGa1?xN spherical quantum dots

The binding energy and Stark effect energy shifts of a shallow donor impurity state in a strained GaN/AlxGa1-xN spherical finite-potential quantum dot (QD) are calculated using a variational method based on the effective mass approximation. The binding energy is computed as a function of dot size and hydrostatic pressure. The numerical results show that the binding energy of the impurity state increases, attains a maximum value, and then decreases as the QD radius increases for any electric field. Moreover, the binding energy increases with the pressure for any size of dot. The Stark shift of the impurity energy for large dot size is much larger than that for the small dot size, and it is enhanced by the increase of electric field. We compare the binding energy of impurity state with and without strain effects, and the results show that the strain effects enhance the impurity binding energy considerably, especially for the small QD size. We also take the dielectric mismatch into account in our work.
