Spherical quantum dot described by a scalar exponential potential under the influence of a linear electric field

Abstract We study the confinement of a spinless charged particle to a spherical quantum dot under the influence of a linear electric field. The spherical quantum dot is described by a short-range potential given by the power-exponential potential. Then, by analysing the region near the spherical quantum dot centre, we discuss two cases where the energy levels can be obtained for s -waves and how the linear electric field modifies the spectrum of energy of the spherical quantum dot.
