Effect of shell thickness on exciton and biexciton binding energy of a ZnSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dot
The exciton and biexciton binding energy have been studied for a ZnSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dot using WKB (Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) approximation. The exciton binding energy increases for small shell thickness and for large thickness, the binding energy again starts decreasing. A similar result is obtained for biexcitons where for thicker shells, the biexciton attains antibonding.
