Annotation
In this study, we have investigated an exciton confined in a single quantum well. For the first time, we have compared the different methods of approximating the effective two dimensional Coulomb potentials which had been previously reported in the literatures. The effect of different previously introduced trial wave functions on the exciton binding energy is also investigated. In order to have a consistent and stable calculation we have tried to find the true region of variations for free parameters of these trial wave functions. Effects of the barrier thickness and doping fraction are also investigated.
