Uncorrelated Excitonic Properties in Multilayered Cylindrical Quantum Dot

Abstract

The unbound exciton properties in multilayered cylindrical quantum dot (CQD) (core/shell/shell) have been studied theoretically, within the effective mass approximation and two-band model. The uncorrelated energy of an exciton confined in GaAs/Ga1-x1Alx1As/Ga1-x2Alx2As CQD as a function of the core and first shell radius is presented. The numerical results show that the quantum dot size and the confinement potentials depth significantly adjust the ground state uncorrelated energy of exciton. However, the exciton wave function parameters are dependent on the core and first shell radius (R1 and R2), as well as the concentration of the barrier’s materials.
