✦ Synopsis

Using a variational procedure within the effective-mass approximation we have calculated the binding energies of shallow-donor impurities in cylindrical GaAs quantum-well wires, in an axial magnetic field and an infinite confinement potential. In contrast to the previous results in quantum wells, we have found that, in the magnetic field, the impurity binding energy may be increased or decreased as a function of the impurity location in the quantum wire. On the basis of analysis of the variation of the binding energy with magnetic field strength, a method is proposed for experimentalists to confirm the presence of a shallow donor in the vicinity of the wire boundary.

The effects of mixing between the \(\Gamma\) and \(X\) valleys of the conduction band on the binding energy of a shallow donor in a thin type I AlAs/GaAs quantum well are investigated. The multivalley effective mass equations are solved variationally, with a separable hydrogen-like trial function. T

Using a variational approach within the effective mass approximation we calculate the binding energy of the ground and some excited donor impurity states in quantum-well wires with rectangular and cylindrical transversal sections under the action of applied electric fields. We study the binding ener
