| contents | We investigate the influence of a different effective mass inside and outside an electric quantum dot on in its energy spectrum. Depending on the different values we give to the mass, we have found quite different spectra. Specifically, when the mass is positive but lighter inside the dot than outside it, the spectrum increases and splits into two types of states separated by a gap. Conversely, if the mass inside the quantum dot is heavier than the mass outside, the spectrum has fewer states and needs stronger fields in order to confine states. Finally, the case of inverted mass (ie, negative mass inside the quantum dot and positive outside it or vice versa) gives rise to a new spectral curve of edge states. All these cases have been analyzed in detail along this paper. |
