Calculation of exciton energy in InAs/InP self-assembled semiconductor quantum wires

Abstract

Theoretical calculations of exciton in InAs/InP self-assembled quantum wires are presented in this paper. The Coulomb interaction between the electron and hole is calculated by using a fast Fourier transformation. In our simulations, strain effects are taken into consideration. Finally, we obtain the exciton binding energy in quantum wires by solving 1D Schrodinger equation along the quantum wire direction.
