Abstract

We analyze the effect of the spatial correlation on the ground state energy of two particles (two electrons and exciton–hole pair) confined in quantum ring (QR) with a soft-edge-barrier confinement potential. Starting from the Schrödinger variational principle we derive a one-dimensional differential equation for the spatial pair correlation function (SPCF), which we solve numerically by using the shooting method. The effect of the repulsive core in a self-assembled GaAs/InAs QR on the two-electron and exciton SPCF is analyzed. A comparative analysis of the dependencies of the two-particle ground state energies on the inner and outer radii of GaAs/InAs QRs with different confinement potential shapes is presented.
