On the basis of Lee–Low–Pines (LLP) unitary transformation, the influence of external magnetic field, Rashba spin–orbit coupling and quantum size effect on the ground-state interaction energy of strong-coupling magnetopolarons in quantum disks (QDs) is studied by using the Tokuda improved linear combine operator method. The results show that the ground-state interaction energy of magnetopolarons consists of four parts: the energy caused by the confinement potential of QDs, interaction energy between the electron and external magnetic field, electron and longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon interaction energy and additional term of Rashba effect originating from phonons. The electron–LO phonon interaction energy Ee- ph and additional term of Rashba effect are always negative; the absolute value |Ee- ph | increases with increasing transverse confinement strength ω0, cyclotron frequency of external magnetic field ωc and electron–LO phonon coupling strength α, but decreases with increasing the thickness of QDs L; the state properties of magnetopolarons are closely linked with the sign of the ground-state interaction energy of magnetopolarons E int and change of E int with ωc, ω0, α and L. In addition, the vibration frequency of magnetopolarons λ increases with increasing ωc, ω0 and α, but decreases with increasing L. For the ground state of magnetopolarons in QDs, the electron–LO phonon interaction plays a significant role, meanwhile, the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling effect cannot be ignored.

AbstractA new model of a quantum ring defined inside a nanowire is proposed. The one-particle Hamiltonian for electron in [111]-oriented nanowire quantum ring is constructed taking into account both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. The energy levels as a function of magnetic field are found using the exact numerical diagonalization. The persistent currents (both charge and spin) are calculated. The specificity of spin-orbit coupling and arising anticrossings in energy spectrum lead to unusual features in persistent current behavior. The variation of magnetic field or carrier concentration by means of gates can lead to pure spin persistent current with the charge current being zero.
