ABSTRACT

We consider a model of hydrogen-like artificial molecule formed by two vertically coupled quantum dots in the shape of axially symmetrical thin layers with on-axis single donor impurity in each of them and with the magnetic field directed along the symmetry axis. We present numerical results for energies of some low-lying levels as functions of the magnetic field applied along the symmetry axis for different quantum dot heights, radii, and separations between them. The evolution of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of the energy levels with the increase of the separation between dots is analyzed.

##### Article: Two-electron quantum disks
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The energy levels of a quantum disk containing one or two electrons are calculated as a function of an external magnetic field. The confinement potential is a hard wall of finite height. The cyclotron transition energies are investigated and the effect of the finite width of the disk on the Coulomb energy is studied. Our results are applied to the ${\mathrm{In}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{$-${}}\mathit{x}}$As/GaAs dots and agree well with experiment. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

##### Article: Off‐axis donors in quasi‐two‐dimensional quantum dots with cylindrical symmetry
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We propose a simple method for calculating the on- and off-axis neutral and negatively charged donors in axially symmetrical quantum dots whose thickness is much smaller than the base diameter. The adiabatic approximation is used to separate the slow in-plane motion from the rapid transversal displacements. We show that the low-lying free electron levels can be found by solving a two-dimensional central force problem with effective potential whose shape strongly depends on the quantum dot profile in radial direction. The energies of the off-axis neutral and negatively charged donors are calculated by using fractal dimension method. Novel curves and contour plots for the energies of donors confined in quantum disks, lens, pyramids and rings as functions of the base radius and the distance from the axis are presented.

• ##### Article: Energy Spectra of Two Particles in a Parabolic Quantum Dot: Numerical Sweep Method
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Schrödinger equation for two particles of the same mass in two- and three-dimensional parabolic quantum dots is analyzed by using the trigonometric sweep method. Novel curves which show quantum-size effects on the two-particle energy spectra and take into consideration the repulsive and attractive interaction as particular cases of the same phenomenom are presented. The level-ordering and crossovers of these curves for 2D and 3D exciton and two-electron in a spherical quantum dot are analyzed and discussed. Our results for the 2D two-electron problem are in good agreement with the ones obtained previously by using other methods.
