Description

The exciton properties in cubical quantum dot (CQD), with parabolic confining potential, are theoretically investigated. We have used the two-band model, the effective mass approximation, and the variational method. The analytical expressions of the binding energy, the normalized photoluminescence (PL) energy transition, the spatial extension, and the oscillator strength of the exciton, in the ground state, have been obtained. The numerical calculations for the typical GaAs/Al x Ga1−x As CQD are presented. The effects of the CQD length and the Al concentration on the exciton properties are discussed. The results of the calculation illuminate that Al concentration and the CQD length can make an important impact on the exciton binding energy and the PL peak energy. (author)
