Abstract

Quantum states and energy levels of an electron in a spherical quantum dot with a modified Pöschel-Teller potential are studied. Analytical expressions for the wave function and energy of particle in the absence of impurity are obtained. Within the framework of variational method the impurity states are studied and by using numerical methods the dependences of the particle energy on the parameters of the spherical quantum dot are derived. Dependences of the electron binding energy on the half-width and depth of the potential well are revealed.
