Abstract: | A theory of quasi-stationary states and lifetimes of electrons, holes, and excitons in an open cylindrical semiconductor quantum wire containing a quantum dot surrounded by two identical antidots (with potential barriers of finite height) is developed using the scattering matrix method. The energy spectra and lifetimes of electrons, holes, and excitons in a β-HgS/β-CdS/β-HgS/β-CdS/β-HgS nanoheterosystem are calculated and analyzed as functions of the geometric parameters of the quantum dot involved. It is demonstrated that an increase in the height of the quantum dot leads to a decrease in the energy of quasi-stationary exciton states of the Breit-Wigner type and to an increase in their lifetimes. The lifetime of exciton states is long enough for these states to be observed in the experiment. |
