Abstract
In order to study the dark current characteristics in a quantum wire infrared photodetector (QRIP), the average number of electrons in quantum wires (QRs) must be got, which is mostly too complicated. In this paper we give a simple formula to calculate the average number of carriers in a quantum wire (QR) that can be easily evaluated by mathematical softwares, and then we use this formula to study dark current characteristics of a quantum wire infrared photodetector (QRIP).
