The polaronic correction to the ground-state energy of the electron confined in a cylindrical quantum dot (QD) subject to electric and magnetic fields along the growth axis has been investigated. Using a combinative approach of perturbative theory and variational wavefunction, calculations are performed for an infinitely deep confinement potential outside the QD within the effective mass and adiabatic approximation. We have treated the system by taking into consideration the interaction of the electron with the confined longitudinal optical (LO) phonons as well as the side surface (SSO) and the top surface (TSO) optical phonons.1,2 The ground-state energy shift is obtained as a function of the cylindrical radius and the strength of electric and magnetic fields. The results show that the magnetic field heavily enhances the three types of phonon mode contribution to the correction of the electron ground-state energy while the electric field only improves the contribution of surface phonons (SSO and TSO) but decreases the contribution of LO phonons.
