Abstract The effect of the shape of the confinement potential on the electronic, thermodynamic, magnetic and transport properties of a GaAs quantum dot is studied using the power-exponential potential model with steepness parameter p. The average energy, heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility and persistent current are calculated using the canonical ensemble approach at low temperature. It is shown that for soft confinement, the average energy depends strongly on p while it is almost independent of p for hard confinement. The heat capacity is found to be independent of the shape and depth of the confinement potential at low temperatures and for the magnetic field considered. It is shown that the system undergoes a paramagnetic-diamagnetic transition at a critical value of the magnetic field. It is furthermore shown that for low values of the potential depth, the system is always diamagnetic irrespective of the shape of the potential if the magnetic field exceeds a certain value. For a range of the magnetic field, there exists a window of p values in which a re-entrant behavior into the diamagnetic phase can occur. Finally, it is shown that the persistent current in the present quantum dot is diamagnetic in nature and its magnitude increases with the depth of the dot potential but is independent of p for the parameters considered.

The Magnetic Field

In this paper, the specific heat, entropy and magnetic susceptibility of an asymmetric GaAs quantum dot (QD) are studied under the influence of temperature and a tilted external magnetic field. We first calculate the analytical wave functions and energy levels using a transformation to simplify the Hamiltonian of the system. Then, we obtain the analytical expressions for specific heat, entropy and magnetic susceptibility as the function of temperature, magnetic field and its direction for various anisotropy of the system. According to the results obtained from the present work, we find that (i) the specific heat and entropy are decreased when the magnetic field increases. (ii) When anisotropy is increased, the specific heat and entropy decrease. (iii) At large magnetic fields, the anisotropy has not important effect on specific heat and entropy. In briefly, the magnetic field, magnetic field direction and anisotropy play important roles in the specific heat, entropy and magnetic susceptibility of an asymmetric QD.
