摘要： The binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in self-assembled double quantum dots is calculated via the finite-difference method. The variation in binding energy with donor position, structure parameters and external magnetic field is studied in detail. The results found are: (i) the binding energy has a complex behaviour due to coupling between the two dots; (ii) the binding energy is much larger when the donor is placed in the centre of one dot than in other positions; and (iii) the external magnetic field has different effects on the binding energy for different quantum-dot sizes or lateral confinements.
