We present a variational calculation in the effective-mass approximation of the binding energies of shallow donors in a GaAs-GaAIAs quantum wells. The energies and variational wavefunctions associated with the Is-like ground state as well as some excited states (Zs, Zp,,,, Zp,, 3s, 3px,, and 3pJike) are obtained as functions of the position of the impurity in the well. The intra-donor transition strengths and the infrared absorption spectra are calculated and results compare well with previous theoretical and experimental work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
