Abstract

In this work, we present a theoretical study of the magnetic susceptibility (x of two-electron GaAs parabolic quantum dot (QD) under the combined effects of external pressure, temperature and magnetic field. We used the exact diagonalization method to obtain the eigenenergies by solving the two electron quantum dot Hamiltonian taking into account the dependence of the effective mass and dielectric constant on the hydrostatic pressure and temperature. The pressure and temperature show significant effects on the calculated QD spectra. Next, we investigate the behavior of the magnetization of a quantum dot as a function of external pressure, temperature, confining frequency and magnetic field. The singlet-triplet transitions in the ground state of the quantum dot spectra and the corresponding jumps in the magnetic susceptibility spectra have been shown. The comparison shows that our results are in very good agreement with the reported works.
