Effect of Magnetic Field on Internal Energy and Entropy of a Parabolic Cylindrical Quantum Dot

In the present work, the entropy and internal energy of a GaAs cylindrical quantum dot in the presence of an applied magnetic field is studied. For this purpose, the Tsallis formalism is applied to obtain internal energy and entropy. It is found that entropy and internal energy are continuous function and they are zero at special temperatures. Entropy maximum increases with increasing dot radius. Internal energy increases by increasing magnetic field.
