An analytical approach to the problem of an impurity electron ͑or hole͒ in a quantum well ͑QW͒, subject to electric and strong magnetic external fields both directed perpendicular to the heteroplanes, is developed. The impurity center is located at the edge of the QW. It is shown that the combined potential acting on the electron ͑or hole͒ resembles that of a double quantum well. One of the wells is formed by the Coulomb impurity potential and the QW boundary at which the center is located and the other well by the electric-field potential and the other boundary of the well. Analytical expressions for the energy levels are obtained. Our main interest is in the resonance when the levels associated with the two effective QW's anticross. The explicit dependences of the resonance splitting upon the width of the QW and on the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields are obtained. Estimates of the expected splittings are made using the usual parameters associated with GaAs QW's.
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.
