Longitudinal-optical phonon effects on the binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in a quantum well structure

Abstract: The polaron effect on the binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in a semiconductor quantum well is calculated by a variational approach taking into account the quasi-two-dimensional and the realist structures of systems. For the finite potential barrier, a correction is obtained as a function of the well thickness and presents a maximum; its evolution is analogous to the binding energy.

“…Over the past decades, a lot of investigations have already been carried out and have been devoted to the study of the electronic state in these microstructures [1 to 7]. By comparing with others systems (quasi-one dimensional and quasi-two dimensional systems), the results show that the impurity binding energy in quasi-zero dimensional systems is higher [7,8,14,15]. The binding energies and the density of states of shallow impurities in cubic [7] and in spherical quantum dots [5,11] have been calculated as function of the dot size and the impurity position in the quantum dot.…”

“…Licari and Evrard 9 gave a Hamiltonian for the electronphonon interaction in a polar crystal slab. Since, then, a considerable number of articles regarding the coupling of a Q2D electron system with optical phonons have been published [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] both with and without considering magnetic field effect.…”
