Abstract  A simple method for calculating the free-exciton binding energies in the fractional-dimensional-space model for single-quantum-well structure has been extended to quantum-well wires and quantum dots, in which the real anisotropic system is modelled through an effective isotropic environment with a fractional dimension. In this scheme, the fractional-dimensional parameter is chosen via an analytical procedure and involves no ansatz. We calculated the ground-state binding energies of excitons and donors in quantum-well wires with rectangular cross sections. Our results are found to be in good agreement with previous variational calculations and available experimental measurements. We also discussed the ground-state exciton binding energy changing with different shapes of quantum-well wires.
