Within the effective-mass approximation, we calculated the influence of strain on the binding energy of a hydrogenic donor impurity by a variational approach in a cylindrical wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1-xN strained quantum dot, including the strong built- in electric field effect due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The results show that the binding energy of impurity decreases when the strain is considered. Then the built-in electric field becomes bigger with the Al content increasing and the bin...
