Abstract
The effect of eccentricity distortions of core-multishell quantum wires
on their electron, hole and exciton states is theoretically
investigated. Within the effective mass approximation, the Schrodinger
equation is numerically solved for electrons and holes in systems with
single and double radial heterostructures, and the exciton binding
energy is calculated by means of a variational approach. We show that
the energy spectrum of a core-multishell heterostructure with
eccentricity distortions, as well as its magnetic field dependence, are
very sensitive to the direction of an externally applied electric field,
an effect that can be used to identify the eccentricity of the system.
For a double heterostructure, the eccentricities of the inner and outer
shells play an important role on the excitonic binding energy,
especially in the presence of external magnetic fields, and lead to
drastic modifications in the oscillator strength.
