Abstract

A theoretical analysis of physical properties of the effect of size of a nanoobject in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped whose sides aa, bb, cc, are oriented along the OXOX, OYOY, OZOZ, respectively, is carried out. In the framework of the perturbation theory, changes in the electronic spectrum of the nanoobject caused by an external magnetic field B\vec{B}, depending on its size, are analyzed. We consider two cases of the fields which are described 1) by the Landau gauge, A(r)=(0,Bx,0)\vec{A}(\vec{r})=\left(0,Bx,0\right) (B\vec{B} is oriented along the side cc) and 2) by A(r)=(Bz,0,αBy)\vec{A}(\vec{r})=\left(Bz,0,\alpha By\right) (α\alpha is a parameter; at α=0\alpha = 0, B\vec{B} is directed along OXOX axis, and at α=1\alpha = 1, B\vec{B} is directed along the diagonal in XOYXOY plane). Firstly, it is shown that the first correction to the spectrum is zero, regardless of B\vec{B} orientation. Secondly, it is established that, in contrast to the case of the field orientation 1), where the correction does not depend on the length of cc, in the case 2) such correction depends both on cc and on its ratios to the lengths of aa and bb. There was found the existence of such nanoobject sizes in XOYXOY plane at which the corrections to the spectrum are the same for different lengths of cc of the nanoobject.
