Abstract
This study aims to examine the effects of electric field \((F)\), hydrostatic pressure (\(P)\), non-parabolicity (NP), and polaronic mass (PM) on the binding energy \(({E}_{\mathrm{b}})\) of an impurity confined in a semimagnetic \({\mathrm{Cd}}_{1-{x}_{w}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{{x}_{w}}{\mathrm{Te}}/{\mathrm{Cd}}_{1-{x}_{b}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{{x}_{b}}{\mathrm{Te}}\) symmetrical double quantum well (DQW) using a variational approach within the effective mass approximation. Additionally, the spin polaronic shift effect caused by the strong exchange interaction between the spin of the magnetic impurity \({\mathrm{Mn}}^{2+}\) and the spin of the confined carrier on the donor states is evaluated by considering the same effects as the \({E}_{\mathrm{b}}\). The results indicate that the \({E}_{\mathrm{b}}\) increases as the \(P\) values increase. Moreover, for an impurity placed at the center of the well, the \({E}_{\mathrm{b}}\) decreases as the strength of the F increases. Also, it has been found that the \({E}_{\mathrm{b}}\) is affected by the influence of non-parabolicity and polaronic mass particularly for narrow well width.
