We note that the spin-orbit coupling profoundly influences the energy spectrum of interacting electrons in a quantum dot. Here we present accurate results for the energy levels and optical-absorption spectra for parabolic quantum dots containing upto four interacting electrons, in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and under the influence of an externally applied, perpendicular magnetic field. We have described in detail about a very accurate numerical scheme to evaluate these quantities. We have evaluated the effects of SO coupling on the Fock-Darwin spectra for quantum dots made out of three different semiconductor systems, InAs, InSb, and GaAs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-07T18:03:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energy levels", "spin-orbit coupling", "magneto-optical transitions", "interacting electrons", "parabolic quantum dots containing upto" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
