Magnetic field-dependent of binding energy in GaN/InGaN/GaN spherical QDQW nanoparticles

Abstract

Simultaneous study of magnetic field and impurity's position effects on the ground-state shallow-donor binding energy in GaN│InGaN│GaN (core│well│shell) spherical quantum dot–quantum well (SQDQW) as a function of the ratio of the inner and the outer radius is reported. The calculations are investigated within the framework of the effective-mass approximation and an infinite deep potential describing the quantum confinement effect. A Ritz variational approach is used taking into account of the electron-impurity correlation and the magnetic field effect in the trial wave-function. It appears that the binding energy depends strongly on the external magnetic field, the impurity's position and the structure radius. It has been found that: (i) the magnetic field effect is more marked in large layer than in thin layer and (ii) it is more pronounced in the spherical layer center than in its extremities.
