Abstract

We present an efficient method for calculation of the impurity binding energy in a quantum dot with parabolic confinement in the presence of the electric field. The unknown wave function is expanded into a basis of one-dimensional harmonic oscillator states describing the electron's movement perpendicular to the plane of quantum well. Green's function technique used to calculate the coefficients of the expansion. Binding energy of impurity states is defined as poles of the wave function. Developed method applied to calculation of impurity binding energy for different position of impurity and the intensity of electric field.
