Abstract
This study examines the diamagnetic susceptibility of an on-center hydrogenic donor impurity in pyramidal core/shell/shell quantum dots (CSSQDs) under a Konwent-like confining potential and an external electric field. The analysis focuses on the dependence of susceptibility on the system's geometrical dimensions, confinement potential parameters, and the applied electric field strength. Within the effective mass approximation, the Schrödinger equation is numerically solved using the finite element method (FEM), ensuring high accuracy and computational flexibility. The results reveal that the diamagnetic susceptibility is highly sensitive to the confinement potential, the applied electric field, and the structural dimensions of the quantum dot (QD). In particular, it decreases with increasing electric field strength, with the effect being most pronounced under weak confinement and in larger systems.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
