Abstract

The binding energy of a hydrogenic donor impurity in a zinc-blende GaN / AlGaN cylindrical quantum well wire (QWW) is calculated in the framework of effective-mass envelope-function theory using the plane wave basis. It is shown that the donor binding energy is highly dependent on the impurity position, the radius of the wire and the external electric field. In addition, Stark shift dependence on the radius of the QWW and the external electric field is also calculated. The donor binding energy has a maximum when the impurity is located at the center of the QWW. The donor binding energy decreases with the increase of the external electric field, but stark shift increases with the increase of the external electric field or the radius of the QWW.
