Abstract

Impurity states in ZnSe/InP/ZnS core/shell/shell spherical quantum dot where electrons are localized in the InP shell are considered using variational method. It is assumed that the hydrogenlike impurity is located in the center of quantum dot core (ZnSe). The impurity ground state wave function and energy, as well as electron binding energy are obtained. Interband direct transitions from the ground valence state into the ground donor state are considered. Dependences of absorption edge on the inner and outer radii of the quantum layer are derived.
