The influence of a perpendicular magnetic field on a bound polaron near the interface of a polar–polar semiconductor with Rashba effect has been investigated. The material is based on a GaAs / Al x Ga 1-x As heterojunction and the Al concentration varying from 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.4 is the critical value below which the Al x Ga 1-x As is a direct band gap semiconductor.The external magnetic field strongly altered the ground state binding energy of the polaron and the Rashba spin–orbit (SO) interaction originating from the inversion asymmetry in the heterostructure splitting of the ground state binding energy of the bound polaron. How the ground state binding energy will be with the change of the external magnetic field, the location of a single impurity and the electron area density have been shown in this paper, taking into account the SO coupling. The contribution of the phonons are also considered. It is found that the spin-splitting states of the bound polaron are more stable, and, in the condition of weak magnetic field, the Zeeman effect can be neglected.

Here, the influence of external magnetic field on the optical absorption and refractive index changes for a parabolically confined quantum dot in the presence of Rashba spin orbit interaction have been investigated. The results are presented as a function of quantum confinement potential, magnetic field, Rashba spin orbit interaction strength and photon energy. Our results indicate the important influence of magnetic field on the peak positions of absorption coefficient and refractive index changes. For Quantum Wire, the energy dispersion relations are studied of the spin split subbands subjected to external transverse electric and magnetic fields in the presence of Rashba spin orbit interaction. For an infinite superlattice wire, it is found that the energy gaps between different subbands are shifted due to Rashba spin orbit interaction and external electric field. Here we have also investigated the influence of external electric field and magnetic field on the optical absorption of a parabolic confinement wire.

Influences of Rashba spin-orbit interaction(SOI) effects on the ground state energy of the electron in quantum ring at zero fields are studied by means of the perturbation method. Numerical calculations for CdF2 ring are performed and the results show that the Rashba SOI makes the ground state energy of electron split into two branches, which are induced by the spin-up state and spin-down state, respectively. Two branches splitting energy increases oscillatorily with increasing the inner radius of quantum ring and decreases oscillatorily with increasing the outer radius of quantum ring. The largest Rashba spin splitting energies in the process of oscillation-increase and oscillation-decrease are 11.91meV and 13.97meV, respectively. These data and results are helpful to design and develop spin field effect transistor, spin light-emitting diode, spin resonant tunneling device, etc.
