Simultaneous Effects of HydrostaticPressure and Conduction Band Non-parabolicity on BindingEnergies and Diamagnetic Susceptibility of a Hydrogenic Impurityin Spherical Quantum Dots

Simultaneous effects of conduction band non-parabolicity and hydrostatic pressure on the binding energies of 1S, 2S, and 2P states along with diamagnetic susceptibility of an on-center hydrogenic impurity confined in typical GaAs/Al_xGa_1-xAs spherical quantum dots are theoretically investigated using the matrix diagonalization method. In this regard, the effect of band non-parabolicity has been performed using the Luttinger-Kohn effective mass equation. The binding energies and the diamagnetic susceptibility of the hydrogenic impurity are computed as a function of the dot radius and different values of the pressure in the presence of conduction band non-parabolicity effect. The results we arrived at are as follows: the incorporation of the band edge non-parabolicity increases the binding energies and decreases the absolute value of the diamagnetic susceptibility for a given pressure and radius; the binding energies increase and the magnitude of the diamagnetic susceptibility reduces with increasing pressure.
