The spin-polarized electronic states were obtained in a weakly confined dot, when SOI was greater than a critical value of the SOI strength. It was observed that in high magnetic fields, the spectra of low-lying states exhibited features of Fock-Darwin levels and Landau levels. It was also observed that the effective SOI in the system was decreasing with increasing magnetic field and confining potential of the dot.Keywords: Approximation theory; Cyclotrons; Electron energy levels; Light absorption; Magnetic field effects; Magnetic semiconductors; Nanotechnology; Optoelectronic devices; Quantum cryptography; Energy spectrum; Rashba effect; Spin polarization; Spin-orbit intera200410.1063/1.17107262015-12-11
