Abstract
Optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots in magnetic fields are reviewed. A theory is described based on a multi-band effective-mass approximation with a nonparabolic conduction electron dispersion, the direct Coulomb interaction, and the electron-hole exchange interaction taken into account. The transition from the quantum-confined Zeeman effect for a weak magnetic field to the quantum-confined Paschen-Back effect to a strong magnetic field is discussed in comparison with atomic spectra in magnetic fields. Experimental results of the optical properties of isolated CuCl, CdSSe, and Si quantum dots in magnetic fields are also discussed in conjunction with the theoretical results.
