Three-dimensional bound states of cylindrical quantum heterostructures with position-dependent mass carriers

Abstract

We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of cylindrical quantum heterostructures by considering effective electronic carriers with position-dependent mass for five different kinetic-operator orderings. We obtain the bound energy eigenstates of particles in a three-dimensional cylindrical nanowire under a confining hyperbolic potential with both open and closed boundary conditions in the radial and the axial directions. In the present model we consider carriers with continuous mass distributions within the dot with abrupt mass discontinuities at the barriers, moving in a quantum dot that connects different substances. Continuity of mass and potential at the interfaces with the external layers result as a particular case. Our approach is mostly analytical and allows a precise comparison among von Roos ordering classes.
