Within the effective-mass approximation a simple method to calculate the spectra of a shallowdonor impurity in GaAs±(Ga, Al)As cylindrical quantum-well wires (QWWs) suitable for any confinement potential shape in radial direction is proposed. A trial function is taken as the product of a hydrogenic

✦ Synopsis
The binding energies of shallow hydrogenic donor impurities in GaAs±(Ga,Al)As quantum boxes are calculated as a function of the size of the structure and as a function of the intensity of an applied electric field. The calculations are performed within the effective-mass approximation and using a variational method. We have found that when the size of the quantum box is reduced, both the energy of the ground state and the binding energy increase. Likewise we found that when the electric field intensity is increased, both the energy of the ground state and the binding energy decrease.
