Low energy exciton states in a nanoscopic semiconducting ring
We consider an effective mass model for an electron-hole pair in a simplified
confinement potential, which is applicable to both a nanoscopic self-assembled
semiconducting InAs ring and a quantum dot. The linear optical susceptibility,
proportional to the absorption intensity of near-infrared transmission, is
calculated as a function of the ring radius . Compared with the
properties of the quantum dot corresponding to the model with a very small
radius , our results are in qualitative agreement with the recent
experimental measurements by Pettersson {\it et al}.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, revised and accepted by Phys. Rev.
