β¦ Synopsis
Using the potential morphing method in the effective mass approximation, we have studied the behavior of the impurity binding energy as a function of the impurity position, for different applied electric fields, different Al concentrations at the well center, in strong, intermediate and weak confinement, for a GaAs/Ga 1Γx Al x As inverse parabolic quantum well. Our results indicate that the impurity binding energy has the same behavior as the spatial distribution of the electron ground state wavefunction and also that an electron localization appears only in the intermediate and weak confinement regime when the electric field takes non-zero values.

In this study, effects of the electric field applied along the growth direction on the binding energy of donor impurities in double inverse parabolic quantum well (DIPQW) with different well and barrier widths, as well as different Al concentrations in the center of the wells have been investigated.
We calculated the magnetic field dependency of hydrogenic donor binding energy in cylindrical quantum wires under inverse lateral parabolic potential. We have worked in the effective mass approximation and variational calculation scheme. We have found there is an abrupt change in binding energy with
