Effects of applied magnetic field and pressure on the diamagnetic susceptibility and binding energy of donor impurity in GaAs quantum dot considering the non-parabolicity model’s influence

ABSTRACT

In this article, we investigate the influence of the hydrostatic pressure, magnetic field, and conduction band non-parabolicity on both the diamagnetic susceptibility and the binding energy of shallow donor impurity in a quantum disk made out of GaAs. The Hamiltonian of the investigated problem has been solved within the framework of the effective-mass approximation. The energy minimisation has been performed using a variational approach. Our results reveal that both the diamagnetic susceptibility and binding energy have been reduced with increasing the disk size. Moreover, the diamagnetic susceptibility increases as the impurity moves from the extremity to the centre of the disk. However, both the diamagnetic susceptibility and binding energy have been improved under applied magnetic field, hydrostatic pressure, and by considering the conduction band non-parabolicity model as well. We hope that the reported results will be a modest contribution to further theoretical research in the field of nanostructures.
