Abstract

The binding energies of shallow donors and acceptors in GaAs(Ga, Al)As quantum wells were obtained as functions of the position of the impurity and GaAs slab thicknesses. It is suggested that a proper consideration of the density of impurity states may be of relevance in the interpretation of experimental data related to shallow impurities in quantum wells. The binding energies of on-edge impurities are shown to increase, for sufficiently large well thicknesses, when the barrier potential (or the Al concentration) decreases, a behavior which contrasts with results previously reported in the literature.
