Abstract

A systematic study was undertaken to analyze the electronic and thermal properties of a single electron within a superelliptic quantum ring under orthogonal magnetic and electric fields. The corresponding Schrödinger equation for this system was numerically solved using the finite element method within the effective mass approximation. The influence of geometric effects associated with the morphology of the inner and outer contours of the superellipse, as well as the impact of external fields on electronic and thermal properties, were analyzed. The flexibility of the superellipse shape parameters considered in this study allows the consideration of different types of rings and the derivation of several electronic properties previously published in the literature as particular cases of our model. It was observed that thermal properties are highly sensitive to external fields and the geometrical potential linked to the topological variations experienced by the superellipse during the growth of the quantum rings.
