D0 energy spectrum in In(Al)As/Ga(Al)As quasi-one-dimensional nanorings

Abstract

We analyze the spectrum of a neutral donor located inside or outside of a finite-barrier toroidal-shaped nanoring whose radius is much larger than the height. We derive a one-dimensional wave equation which describes the low-lying donor levels corresponding to the slow electron motion along the ring, by using the adiabatic approximation. Numerical solution of this equation has been obtained by using the trigonometric sweep method. The dependence of the energy spectrum on the donor position, radius and height ring has been studied.
