Modeling of confinement potential for cylindrical quantum dot

Quantum states and energy levels of an electron in a cylindrical quantum dot with different models of confinement potentials are studied. Two models of confinement potentials, Morse potential and modified Poschl-Teller potential, are considered. It is shown that due to distinction between symmetric and asymmetric nature of potentials, there is a fundamental difference in behavior of the ground levels of charge carriers in these potentials. At small values of the width of Morse potential, quantum emission of electron occurs which is not observed in case of the modified Poschl-Teller potential.
