Effect of magnetic field on diamagnetic susceptibility of two interacting electrons in a quantum dot

Abstract

ABSTRACT:We have estimated the energy levels of the low-lying states as a function of magnetic field when two electrons are introduced in a quantum dot (QD). Oscillator strength of interacting electrons for different magnetic field strengths has been calculated. There is no appreciable change in oscillator strength for stronger confinements for all the magnetic field strengths. We present the shift of diamagnetic susceptibility of a hydrogenic donor impurity in GaAs/Ga 1Àx Al x As QD systems for the ground and low lying excited states. The effect of magnetic field on diamagnetic susceptibilities is estimated by two different methods and it has been found that values obtained from both the methods resemble each other. The diamagnetic shift is in good agreement with the other investigators.
