摘要： The second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient in an asymmetric quantum dot (QD) with a static magnetic field is theoretically investigated. Within the framework of the effective-mass approximation, we obtain the confined wave functions and energies of electrons in QD. We also obtain the SHG coefficient by the compact-density-matrix approach and the iterative method. The numerical results for the typical GaAs/AlGaAs QD show that the SHG coefficient depends strongly on the magnitude of magnetic field, parameters of the asymmetric potential and the radius of the QD. The resonant peak shifts with the magnetic field or the radius of the QD changing.
