Abstract

The problem of a neutral hydrogenic donor (D0) centre located at the centre of a GaAs quantum dot with Gaussian confinement is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field. The ground and the first excited state energies and the corresponding binding energies are obtained as functions of the potential strength, quantum dot radius and the magnetic field using a variational method. It is suggested that the first excited state of the D0 centre is bound for sufficiently strong confinement potential. The 1s−2p− transition energy and the magnetic susceptibilities for the ground and the first excited states are also determined.
