PACS 71.35. Ji, 73.21.Fg We study the confinement of magnetoexcitons in quantum wells in the presence of a strong external homogeneous magnetic field and a cylindrical symmetric inhomogeneous magnetic field created by a superconducting disk, placed on the top of the well. We calculate numerically the trapping energy and the corresponding center-of-mass wave function of magnetoexcitons in a GaAs single quantum well. The calculations clearly indicate the formation of bound exciton states with nonzero values for the center-of-mass exciton wave function only in a sufficiently small area. This effect of exciton trapping can be used to design new functional nanoelectronic devices.
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.
