By using LLP variational method, the Rashba effect on the bound polaron in an asymmetric quantum dot is investigated and the expression of the bound polaron ground state energy is derived. Considering different Coulomb bound potentials, we discuss the relations between the ground state energy and the electron-phonon coupling strength, the wave vector, the transverse effective confinement length and the longitudsinal effective confinement length, respectively. The results show that the ground state energy is a decreasing function of the Coulomb bound potential, the electron-phonon coupling strength, the transverse effective confinement length and the longitudinal effective confinement length. On the contrary, it is an increasing function of the wave vector. Due to the Rashba effect, the ground state energy splits into two branches.
Influence of the magnetic field on the properties of the polaron in an asymmetric quantum dot is studied by using the Pekar variation method. The expression of the magnetopolaron ground-state energy is obtained by theoretical derivation. The relationship between the ground-state energy of the magnetopolaron with the transverse confinement strength, the longitudinal confinement strength and the magnetic field cyclotron resonance frequency are further discussed by us. Due to the crystal structure inversion asymmetry and the time inversion asymmetry, the polaron energy causes Rashba spin–orbit splitting and Zeeman splitting. Under the strong and weak magnetic fields, we discuss the dominant position of Rashba effect and Zeeman effect, respectively. Due to the presence of phonons, the polaron is more stable than the bare electron state, and the energy splitting is more stable.
