the binding energies of the impurity are calculated by the variational method in the two systems. The impurity binding energies as functions of the well width and pressure are given. The result indicates that the binding energy increases with pressure
but decreases with well width. We also discussed the binding energies of impurity with and without the screening effects. It is found that the screening effect became stronger as pressure increases
and then decreases the binding energy of impurity significantly.
