The properties of a neutral hydrogenic donor (D{sup 0}) centres have been studied for a GaAs semiconductor quantum dot with the Gaussian confinement potential. The energy levels of the ground state (n = 1) and the excited states of both the first excited (n = 2) and second excited (n = 3) configurations have been calculated by variational method. It has been shown that the excited states of the (D{sup 0}) centre in quantum dot are bound for sufficiently strong confinement potential. The conditions of binding for the ground state as well as excited states have been determined as functions of the potential strength and quantum dot radius. The ground state electron energy is compared with those available in the literature.
