摘要
Based on the effective-mass approximation, the hydrostatic pressure effects on the donor binding energy of the hydrogenic impurity in zinc-blende (ZB) InGaN/GaN quantum dot (QD) are investigated by means of a variational procedure. Numerical results show that the donor binding energy increases when the hydrostatic pressure increases for any impurity position and QD structure parameter. Moreover, it is found that the hydrostatic pressure has a remarkable influence on the donor binding energy of the hydrogenic impurity located at the vicinity of dot center in ZB InGaN/GaN QD.
