δ-掺杂受主的扩散对GaAs/AlAs量子阱子带的影响（英文）

在15 nm GaAs/5 nm AlAs单量子阱的GaAs阱层中间,分别进行不同浓度剂量的铍受主的δ-掺杂。铍受主在量子阱层中的扩散浓度分布,由扩散方程数值解出。高温下扩散在GaAs阱层中的Be受主将发生电离,成为带负电荷的受主离子,同时也向量子阱价带的子带中引入空穴。带负电荷的扩散受主离子和价带子带中的空穴,它们都是带电粒子在GaAs阱层中按库伦定律激发电场。相比较而言,对于无掺杂同结构量子阱,在空穴的薛定谔中增加了一个额外的微扰势,从而使无掺杂的量子阱价带的子带有所改变。在有效质量和包络函数近似下,通过循环迭代方法,数值求解了既满足薛定谔方程又满足泊松方程的空穴波函数,找出了自洽、收敛的空穴子带的能量本征值。计算发现考虑到这种额外微扰势,重空穴基态子带hh的能量有一个电子伏特变化,并且随着掺杂受主剂量的增加,重空穴基态子带hh向着价带顶红移,计算结果与实验测量符合得很好。

Subband and excitonic binding of graded GaAs/Ga1–xAlxAs quantum wells under an electric field

The effects of an applied electric field on subband energies and excitonic binding for a graded GaAlAs quantum well are calculated variationally within the effective mass approximation. The ver sensitive dependence of subband energies on the applied field is calculated using a model potential profile and exact electron and hole wavefunctions. Our calculations have revealed the dependence of the energy shifts of subbands, and excitonic binding on the field direction in the graded quantum well. This pemits control over tunnelling which could be desirable for some applications.     

Electronic structures of GaAs/AlGaAs concentric double rings in applied electric and magnetic field

The electronic structures of GaAs/Al_0.35Ga_0.65As concentric double rings are calculated based on the effective mass envelope function theory, with and without the applied electric and magnetic field along the growth direction. The Hamiltonian matrix elements are determined through the Fourier transform method. As the heterostructure evolves from a single ring to the concentric double rings, our simulation is performed on the bound state energies of the electron and the hole. The results show that the energy levels undulate with the evolution of the ring. The applied magnetic field increases the ground state energies both of the electron and of the hole, as well as the transition energy between the first conduction subband and valence subband. However, the electric field decreases the electronic energies linearly.     

Electronic states in a Pöschl–Teller-like quantum well: Combined effects of electric field, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature

The work is devoted to present a theoretical study of the influences of external probes, such as applied electric field and hydrostatic pressure, on the electron and hole states in a Pöschl–Teller quantum well. The calculations have been done in the framework of the variational method. The dependence of the ground state energy of an electron and/or hole confined in the quantum well has been obtained as a function of the applied electric field and hydrostatic pressure. Different values of the asymmetry parameters of the Pöschl–Teller potential as well as temperature have been considered. It is shown that as a result of the increase in the electric field there is an augment of the ground state energy, and also that by increasing the quantum well width the effects of applied electric field are strengthened. It is obtained from the calculations that the ground state energy is a decreasing (increasing) function of the hydrostatic pressure (temperature). It is found that in the high pressure regime the energy grows with pressure, which is a previously unknown result. In the case of holes, the energy is always an increasing function both of the pressure and the temperature. Besides, the behavior of the photoluminescence peak energies associated to transitions between the ground states of electrons and heavy holes in the system is also reported.     

Phonon and electron-hole plasma effects on binding energies of excitons in wurtzite GaN/In<Subscript>x</Subscript>Ga<Subscript>1−x</Subscript>N quantum wells

The binding energy of an exciton screened by the electron-hole plasma in a wurtzite GaN/In _x Ga_1−x N quantum well (in the case of 0.1 < x < 1 within which the interface phonon modes play a dominant role) is calculated including the exciton-phonon interaction by a variational method combined with a self-consistent procedure. The coupling between the exciton and various longitudinal-like optical phonon modes is considered to demonstrate the polaronic effect which strongly depends on the exciton wave function. All of the built-in electric field, the exciton-phonon interaction and the electron-hole plasma weaken the Coulomb coupling between an electron and a hole to reduce the binding energy since the former separates the wave functions of the electron and hole in the z direction and the later two enlarge the exciton Bohr radius. The electron-hole plasma not only restrains the built-in electric field, but also reduces the polaronic effect to the binding energy.     

Impurity-related electronic properties in quantum dots under electric and magnetic fields

This paper presents a systematic study of the ground-state binding energies of a hydrogenic impurity in quantum dots subjected to external electric and magnetic fields.The quantum dot is modeled by superposing a lateral parabolic potential,a Gaussian potential and the energies are calculated via the finite-difference method within the effectivemass approximation.The variation of the binding energy with the lateral confinement,external field,position of the impurity,and quantum-size is studied in detail.All these factors lead to complicated binding energies of the donor,and the following results are found:(1) the binding energies of the donor increase with the increasing magnetic strength and lateral confinement,and reduce with the increasing electric strength and the dot size;(2) there is a maximum value of the binding energies as the impurity placed in different positions along the z direction;(3) the electric field destroys the symmetric behaviour of the donor binding energies as the position of the impurity.     

Lateral electric field effects on quantum size confinement in cylindrical quantum dot under parabolic potential

Within the effective mass approximation, we investigated theoretically the ground-state energy of a single particle and the binding energy of the neutral donor impurity (D⁰) affected by a lateral electric field in a parabolic quantum dot (QD). The results show that the electron and the hole ground-state energy and the band to band transition energies shift to lower values (red shift) by increasing the field intensity. The quantum Stark shift (QSS) for the electron increases rapidly in the quasi spherical QD (QSQD) by increasing the lateral field, whereas for the hole it increases monotony. In the cylindrical QDs (CQDs), we found that the QSS for electron and hole increase monotonically. The quantum size, lateral electric field and impurity position effect on the binding energy of neutral donor (D⁰) is studied. Unexpected behavior of D⁰ in quantum well limit (QW), the binding energy of D⁰ is increasing (blue shift) with increasing QD radius R$R$ at the presence of a lateral electric field. It appears that for a fixed size of the QD, the off-center binding energy decreases when the impurity ion is displaced from the center to the QD borders, while it is shifted to lower energy with increasing the field.     

Electric field effects on the states of an exciton in square cross-section quantum well wires

The Letter studies the role of the external electric field on the binding energy of the exciton states in square cross-section quantum well wires. Using the effective-mass approximation within a variational scheme and expanding the wave function into Fourier series, we calculate the binding energies of the ground state as well as that of the excited states as the functions of the geometry and the strength of the applied electric field. In the presence of an electric field, it is found that for the ground state the Stark effect is redshift, and for the first and the second excited state the binding energy are split into two levels which will change in contrary situation along with the increasing of the strength of the applied electric field.     

Quantum-Confined Stark Effects in a Single GaN Quantum Dot

Using analytical expressions for the polarization field in GaN quantum dot, and an approximation by separating the potential into a radial and an axial, we investigate theoretically the quantum-confined Stark effects. The electron and hole energy levels and optical transition energies are calculated in the presence of an electric field in different directions. The results show that the electron and hole energy levels and the optical transition energies can cause redshifts for the lateral electric field and blueshifts for the vertical field. The rotational direction of electric field can also change the energy shift.     

Impurity-related polarizability and photoionization-cross section in double quantum wells under electric fields and hydrostatic pressure

Double quantum well heterostructures are quite important for the exploration of correlated electron states in two-dimensional systems. By using the variational procedure, within the effective-mass and parabolic-band approximations, the effects of both electric field and hydrostatic pressure on the shallow-donor-impurity related polarizability and photoionization cross-section in GaAs–Ga_1−xAl_xAs double asymmetric quantum wells are presented. The electric field is considered to be applied along the growth direction. It is found that the impurity binding energy and polarizability can be tuned by means of an applied external electric field or hydrostatic pressure in asymmetric double quantum wells, a behavior which could be used in the design and construction of semiconductor devices. The photoionization cross-section magnitude increases as the pressure and applied electric field are increased, except beyond the Γ–X crossover in the barrier material, where a decrease of the photoionization cross-section is expected due the smaller confinement of the impurity wave function.
