We discuss the effect of the position of an impurity in the QD on the binding energy of the D system, Eurthermore, we compare a negatively charged donor D^- with a neutral donor DO confined by a spherical QD with a parabolic potentiM. The results have clearly demonstrate the so-called quantum size effect. The binding energy is dependent on the confining potential hw0 and the impurity ion distance D.展开更多

The binding energy is computed as a function of dot size and hydrostatic pressure. The numerical results show that the binding energy of the impurity state increases, attains a maximum value, and then decreases as the QD radius increases for any electric field. Moreover, the binding energy increases with the pressure for any size of dot. The Stark shift of the impurity energy for large dot size is much larger than that for the small dot size, and it is enhanced by the increase of electric field. We compare the binding energy of impurity state with and without strain effects, and the results show that the strain effects enhance the impurity binding energy considerably, especially for the small QD size. We also take the dielectric mismatch into account in our work.展开更多

We define the ratio of the neutrino cooling rate to the viscous heating rate per unit volume, f=-qJqvis. The ignition region is presented when f〉0.5. The solutions show that NDAF is significantly thick. The ignition region is determined by the mass accretion rate and the vis- cosity parameter, which can be considered as the neutrino radiation-dominated region.展开更多
