Problem Statement

Consider a semiconductor quantum dot formed by a spherically symmetric isotropic harmonic potential V(r)=12m∗ω2r2V(r) = \frac{1}{2}m^*\omega^2 r^2V(r)=21​m∗ω2r2 (where r=x2+y2+z2r = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}r=x2+y2+z2​) centered at the origin in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (x,y,z)(x, y, z)(x,y,z).

A single carrier (electron) with effective mass m∗m^*m∗ and charge −q-q−q (q>0q > 0q>0) is confined in this quantum dot.

Among the stationary states of the one-particle Schrödinger equation, consider the state ∣ψ⟩|\psi\rangle∣ψ⟩ with principal quantum number N=1N = 1N=1 (one energy level above the ground state N=0N = 0N=0) and with zzz-component of orbital angular momentum L^z\hat{L}_zL^z​ equal to +ℏ+\hbar+ℏ. The wave function ψ(r)\psi(\boldsymbol{r})ψ(r) of this state is a normalized complex linear combination of the three first-excited Cartesian states (each with one quantum of excitation along xxx, yyy, or zzz).

The carrier creates a probability current density j(r)\boldsymbol{j}(\boldsymbol{r})j(r) in space. In a stationary state, this gives rise to a steady current density i(r)=−qj(r)\boldsymbol{i}(\boldsymbol{r}) = -q\boldsymbol{j}(\boldsymbol{r})i(r)=−qj(r).

Using the Biot–Savart law, this distributed steady current induces a magnetic flux density BBB at the origin. The contribution from the carrier's spin magnetic moment is neglected.

Find BBB and give the answer in the specified format.

Constraints

  • Effective mass of carrier: m∗=2.0×10−31 kgm^* = 2.0 \times 10^{-31}\,\text{kg}m∗=2.0×10−31kg
  • Carrier charge: q=3.0×10−19 Cq = 3.0 \times 10^{-19}\,\text{C}q=3.0×10−19C
  • Angular frequency of the harmonic potential: ω=1.0×1015 rad/s\omega = 1.0 \times 10^{15}\,\text{rad/s}ω=1.0×1015rad/s
  • Reduced Planck constant: ℏ=1.0×10−34 J⋅s\hbar = 1.0 \times 10^{-34}\,\text{J}\cdot\text{s}ℏ=1.0×10−34J⋅s
  • Vacuum permeability: μ0=4π×10−7 T⋅m/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\,\text{T}\cdot\text{m/A}μ0​=4π×10−7T⋅m/A

Input Format

Using the magnetic flux density B [T]B\,[\text{T}]B[T] at the origin, compute:

πB2×104\pi B^2 \times 10^4πB2×104

and give the answer as a positive integer.
