Electronic Structure and Binding Energy of Spherical Quantum Dot

In this study, we have calculated the energy states and the wavefunctions of the spherical quantum dot with finite and infinite confining potential. In addition, we have investigated the binding energies of the ground and excited states of the spherical quantum dot as a function of dot radius. In order to calculate the energy eigenvalues and the wavefunctions Quantum Genetic Algorithm and Hartre-Fock Roothaan method have been employed. The results show that dot radius and confinement potential has a great effect on the energy states and binding energies. In large dot radii, the effect of confinement potential on energy states is disappeared and energy states go to the energy values of hydrogen atom.
