We explore the excitation profile of a repulsive impurity doped quantum dot under periodically fluctuating magnetic field. We have considered Gaussian impurity centers. The investigation reveals the roles subtly played by the dopant coordinate and the region of influence of the dopant to modulate the excitation pattern. The rate of transition to the excited states has been invoked to analyze the interplay between the above two impurity parameters in influencing the excitation process. The ratio of cyclotron frequency and harmonic confinement potential has important impact on excitation rate.
