The Rashba effect near the interface between GaAs and GaAlAs is assumed to be a linear relation with the distance from the quantum well side. We find that the splitting energy of the excited state is larger and less dependent on the position of the impurity than that of the ground state. Our results are useful for the application of Rashba spin-orbit coupling to photoelectric devices. In the framework of effective-mass envelope-function theory excluding the relativity effect the electronic states have been studied for a hydrogenic donor impurity in quantum wells QWs 1-5 and its important application in the photoelectric devices. The relativity effect introduces evidence of Rashba effects in the semiconductor materials. In recent years spin-dependent phenomena was also proposed using spin field-effect transistor based on the fact that spin precession can be controlled by an external field due to the spin-orbit interaction 6 . Gvozdic et al. studied efficient switching of Rashba spin splitting in wide modulation-doped quantum wells 7 . They demonstrated that the size of the electric-field induced Rashba spin splitting in an 80-nm wide modulation-doped InGaSb QW depends strongly on the spatial variation of the electric field. The interplay between Rashba Dresselhaus and Zeeman interactions in a QW submitted to an external magnetic field was studied by means of an accurate analytical solution of the Hamiltonian 8 .
