A variational calculation of the ground state energy of an electron bound to a screened impurity in a semiconductor in a magnetic field is presented. The trial wave function is taken to be a product of a Landau wave function and a spherical wave function. We consider and compare the two cases in which the spherical part is chosen to be (i) a Coulomb wave function (after Rau, Mueller, and Spruch) and (ii) a Hulthén wave function.

First Case

A tight-binding model is formulated for the calculation of the electronic structure and the ground state energy of the quantum ladder under a magnetic field, where the magnetic flux at the nth plaquette is given by ϕn. First, the theory is applied to obtain the electronic spectra of the quantum ladder models with particular magnetic fluxes such as uniform magnetic fluxes, ϕn=0 and 1/2, and the staggered magnetic flux, ϕn= (−1)n+1ϕ0. From these, it is found that as the effect of electron hopping between two chains—the anisotropy parameter r=ty/tx—is increased, there are a metal-semimetal transition at r=0 and a semimetal–semiconductor transition at r=2 in the first case, and metal-semiconductor transitions at r=0 in the second and third cases. These transitions are thought of as a new category of metal-insulator transition due to the hopping anisotropy of the system. Second, using the spectrum, the ground state energy is calculated in terms of the parameter r. It is found that the ground state energy in the first case diverges as r becomes arbitrarily large, while that in the second and third cases can have the single or double well structure with respect to r, where the system is stable at some critical value of r=rc and the transition between the single and double well structures is associated with whether tx is less than a critical value of txc. The latter cases are very reminiscent of physics in polyacetylene studied by Su, Schrieffer and Heeger.

In this research, the effects of magnetism and parabolic potential on strongly coupled polaron characteristics within asymmetric Gaussian quantum wells (AGQWs) were investigated. To do so, the following six parameters were studied, temperature, AGQW barrier height, Gaussian confinement potential (GCP) width, confinement strengths along the directions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], as well as magnetic field cyclotron frequency. The relationships among frequency oscillation, AGQW parameters and polaron ground state energy in RbCl crystal were studied based on linear combination operator and Lee–Low–Pines unitary transformation. It was concluded that ground state energy absolute value was decreased by increasing GCP width and temperature, and increased with the increase of confinement strength along [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] directions, cyclotron frequency of magnetic field and barrier height of AGQW. It was also found that vibrational frequency was increased by enhancing confinement strengths along the directions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], magnetic field cyclotron frequencies, barrier height AGQW and temperature and decreased with the increase of GCP width.

Polaron Model

The ground-state energy of the Fröhlich polaron model in a magnetic field is investigated by means of the Wick symbols formalism. The upper bound on the ground-state energy is derived which is valid for all values of magnetic field and coupling strength.
