Abstract

The transport equation is solved for the case in which external magnetic and electric fields as well as temperature and concentration gradients are present. All calculations are carried out for energy surfaces of arbitrary shape. The electric current and heat flux are expressed in terms of three fundamental tensors. The case of ellipsoidal energy surfaces with a non‐quadratic dependence of the energy on the absolute value of the wave vector is analysed in detail.

The binding energy of a shallow hydrogenic impurity in a spherical quantum dot under hydrostatic pressure with square well potential is calculated using a variational approach within the effective mass approximation. The effect of conduction band non-parabolicity on these energies is also estimated.
