Impurity effects on the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of an electron confined in a quantum ring under the presence of an external magnetic field

The magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility of a single electron confined in a two-dimensional (2D) parabolic quantum ring under the effect of external uniform magnetic field and in the presence of an acceptor impurity have been studied. The shifted 1/N expansion method was used to solve the Hamiltonian quantum ring within the effective mass approximation. The computed energy spectra, the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility have been displayed as a function of the quantum ring parameters: confinement strength ω0, magnetic field strength (ωc), and temperature (T). The obtained energy results show level-crossings, in the absence and presence of acceptor impurity, which are manifested as oscillations in the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility curves.
