Density of States of a Donor Impurity in a GaAs Quantum Box under the Action of an Applied Electric Field

ABSTRACT: We calculate the density of states of a donor impurity in a GaAs quantum box under the action ofan electric field using effective-mass approximation within a variational scheme. We analyze thebehavior of the density of states as a function of the quantum box-size as well as a function of t...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: We calculate the density of states of a donor impurity in a GaAs quantum box under the action ofan electric field using effective-mass approximation within a variational scheme. We analyze thebehavior of the density of states as a function of the quantum box-size as well as a function of theintensity of the applied electric field, and compare our results with previous reports in quantumwells and quantum well-wires. We expect these results will be of importance in the understandingof experimental absorption spectra related with donor impurities in GaAs quantum boxes underthe action of external electric fields
