Abstract
We investigate theoretically the balance of the static magnetic and the dynamical photon forces in the electron transport through a quantum dot in a photon cavity with a single photon mode. The quantum dot system is connected to external leads and the total system is exposed to a static perpendicular magnetic field. We explore the transport characteristics through the system by tuning the ratio, , between the photon energy, , and the cyclotron energy, . Enhancement in the electron transport with increasing electron–photon coupling is observed when . In this case the photon field dominates and stretches the electron charge distribution in the quantum dot, extending it towards the contact area for the leads. Suppression in the electron transport is found when , as the external magnetic field causes circular confinement of the charge density around the dot.
