Abstract
Quantum size effects for an exciton attached to a spherical quantum dot are calculated by a variational approach. The band lineups are assumed to be type II with finite offsets and . The dependence of the exciton binding energy upon the dot radius R and the offsets is studied for different sets of electron and hole effective masses.
