Nonsensical models for quantum dots

TL;DR

This paper critically examines a recent model for calculating exciton energies in quantum dots, identifying a significant error in the original solution to the Schrödinger equation.

Contribution

It highlights a critical mistake in a recent quantum dot model, emphasizing the importance of correct quantum mechanical solutions.

Findings

Identified a serious mistake in the original model

Corrected the solution to the Schrödinger equation for the system

Undermines the validity of the previous model

Abstract

We analyze a model proposed recently for the calculation of the energy of an exciton in a quantum dot and show that the authors made a serious mistake in the solution to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
