Abstract
The Zeeman splitting of the ground and the first excited level of a Gaussian GaAs quantum dot is studied in the presence of electron-longitudinal-optical (LO)-phonon interaction incorporating the spin of the electron and is compared with the case of a parabolic dot. It is shown that the Zeeman splitting is suppressed because of the polaronic interaction and becomes strongly size dependent, but the parabolic confinement overestimates this Zeeman suppression. It is also shown that although the energy levels are split because of the spin-field interaction, the cyclotron frequencies and the Zeeman lines are independent of the electron spin in the dipole transition. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
