    Notes: Abstract: Although the exciton in a quantum well is not a rigid ball but distords when its center of mass gets close to a surface, it is mathematically possible to write the exciton energy change from its bulk value as an effective decrease of the well width in which the center of mass would freely move. In the large well limit, the exciton dead layer defined this way is related to the third order term in the expansion of the exciton energy as a function of the inverse well width. A quite precise calculation of this exciton energy is thus necessary to obtain this dead layer. We present a new calculation which relies on a Born-Oppenheimer procedure to decouple the relative motion of the e-h pair from its center of mass motion. This is associated to a quite precise calculation of the relative motion energy, based on our recent work on the exact envelope function for confined motion. We predict that the dead layer increases with the exciton total mass in contradiction with previous results.

    Hydrogenic impurity ground state in quantum well: the envelope function revisited (2001)

    Notes: Abstract: We present a new variationnal method for calculating the ground state energy of an electron bound to an impurity located in a quantum well. This method relies on an envelope function which is determined exactly from a formal minimization procedure. The obtained energies are lower by as much as 10% than the ones found by the widely used free electron envelope function. Their large width limits are reached with exponentially small corrections as they should. We also find that, except for narrow wells, the shape of these exact envelope functions strongly depends on the impurity position, being consequently quite different from the usual free electron ones. In order to discuss the improvements brought by our new procedure in the most striking way, we have used a model semiconductor quantum well with infinite barrier height and simplified band structure. Extensions can be made to finite barrier and more realistic band structures, following the same technique.
