Abstract
In this study, the energy spectra of the two-electron interaction of Indium Phosphide (InP) quantum dot under the influence of magnetic field in D-dimensions are obtained for the Hulthen-Yukawa potential model using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method. We investigated how the magnetic field, the potential depth and the screening parameter affected the structure of the energy eigenvalues. From our results, we found out that the energy eigenvalues increased as the magnitude of the magnetic field increased. The energy eigenvalues decreased as the potential depth increased. We also found out that increasing the screening parameter enhanced the energy eigenvalues. These findings have not been reported before now with the NU method.
