Osscillating Binding Energy of a Donor Impurity Confined Within CdS-SiO2 Constant Total Effective Radius Multi-Shells Quantum Dots

Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the effect of a number of wells and quantum dot thickness on binding energy of a single donor impurity confined within a CdS-SiO2 constant total effective radius multi-shells quantum dot (CTER-MSQD) system. We have shown that impurity binding energy versus number of wells in a quantum dot with fixed outer radius oscillates when amplitude increases. By using well number variation, adding impurity and changing quantum dot radius as three tuning tools, localization of wave-functions in each part of the quantum dot along the radius has been now made possible. Finally, adding the impurity leads to more probability of finding the electrons in the wells near the center of the quantum dot.
