Polaron effects on the binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in parabolic quantum wires in perpendicular electric and magnetic fields

Using a variational approach, the binding energy of shallow hydrogenic impurities in a parabolic quantum wire is calculated within the effective mass approximation. The polaron effects on the ground-state binding energy in electric and magnetic fields are investigated by means of the Pekar–Landau variation technique. The results for the binding energy as well as a polaronic correction are obtained as a function of the applied fields and the impurity positions.
