Second harmonic generation in a disk shaped quantum dot in the presence of spin-orbit interaction

The second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients for a disk shaped quantum dot (DSQD) in the magnetic field are studied in the presence of spin-orbit interactions (SOI). The spin-orbit terms we have used in our calculations are both Rashba and Dresselhaus. We have shown that the presence of SOI modifies the SHG terms. In addition, it has been shown that SOI coupling terms influence the spectrum of DSQD resulting in defined changes in the harmonic generation. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
