The effects of a positively charged impurity on the energy levels and far-infrared spectra of one and two electrons in semiconductor nanorings under magnetic fields are studied. The effects of the nanoring size and the impurity position are also discussed. It is shown that the electron–electron interaction and electron–impurity one in nanorings are strongly dependent on the nanoring size and the impurity position. Based on the studies of the impurity and field effects, the impurity-induced Aharonov–Bohm oscillations of the far-infrared spectra are found. The results predict a possibility of observing phenomena related to electron–impurity interaction in a nanoring in the future.
