Abstract
Certain classes of semiconductor quantum dots being actually fabricated exhibit a nearly parabolic confinement for both the electron and the hole. In undoped quantum dots, excitonic effects are important. In this work, first we present theoretical results on exciton properties in parabolic quantum dots: resonance energy, binding energy and oscillator strength. Then, we investigate the effects of external electric and magnetic fields on exciton in quantum dots.
