Anisotropic Quantum Dot

The first-excited-state (ES) binding energy of hydrogenic impurity bound polaron in an anisotropic quantum dot (QD) is obtained by constructing a variational wavefunction under the action of a uniform external electric field. As for a comparison, the ground-state (GS) binding energy of the system is also included. We apply numerical calculations to KBr QD with stronger electron–phonon (E–P) interaction in which the new variational wavefunction is adopted. We analyzed specifically the effects of electric field and the effects of both the position of the impurity and confinement lengths in the xy-plane and the [Formula: see text] direction on the ground and the first-ES binding energies (BEs). The results show that the selected trial wavefunction in the ES is appropriate and effective for the current research system.

Parabolic Quantum Dot

The ground-state energy of polaron was obtained with strong electron-LO-phonon coupling by using a variational method of the Pekar type in a parabolic quantum dot (QD). Quantum transition occurs in the quantum system due to the electron-phonon interaction and the influence of temperature. That is the polaron transition from the ground-state to the first-excited state after absorbing a LO-phonon and it causes the changing of the polaron lifetime. Numerical calculations are performed and the results illustrate the relations of the ground-state lifetime of the polaron on the ground-state energy of polaron, the electric field strength, the temperature, the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength and the confinement length of the quantum dot.
