Abstract:
In this work, we propose an efficient method of reducing the
computational effort of variational calculation with a Hylleraas-like
trial wavefunction. The method consists of introducing integral
transforms for the terms as $r_{12}^{k}\exp{(-\lambda r_{12})}$
which provide the calculation of the expectation value of energy and the
relevant matrix elements to be done analytically over
single-electron coordinates instead of Hylleraas coordinates. We
have used this method to calculate the ground state energy of a
two-electron system in a spherical dot and a disk-like quantum dot
separately. Under parabolic confinement potential and within
effective mass approximation size and shape effects of quantum dots
on the ground state energy of two electrons have been investigated.
The calculation shows that our results even with a small number of
basis states are in good agreement with previous theoretical
results.
