Influence of Magnetic Field on Electron Energy Levels in Semconductor Quantum Dots in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Interactions

Abstract

Energy levels of electrons in semiconductor quantum dots are obtained within the framework of perturbation theory taking into account the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions and an external magnetic field. The circular quantum dots are simulated by a new smooth confinement potential of a finite depth and width. The dependence of energy levels on a constant uniform magnetic field and potential parameters is presented.
