With recent rapid advances in nanofabrication technology it has become possible to confine electrons in all three spatial dimensions in semiconductors called quantum dots.The electron energy spectrum of such quantum dot is fully quantized.Such systems are of great interest in fundamental studies
as well as in practical applications for microelectronic devices.Electron-phonon interaction
which plays an important role in electronic and optical properties of polar crystalline materials in three dimensions
will have pronounced effects in low-dimensional systems as well.Recently there have been a considerable number of theoretical studies on the same effects including the confinement problem in quantum dot system.Zhu and Gu have studied the effect of an external magnetic field on zero-dimensional polarons in the weak-coupling limit using the second-order Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory
and found that for a strong magnetic fields
the cyclotron mass in a parabolic quantum dot is split into two cyclotron masses.Zhou has calculated both the ground state and the exited state energy of strong-coupling magnetoplorons in a disk-shape quantum dot with Peker-tape variational method.In this paper
we investigate weak-coupling magnetopolaron’s properties in a parabolic quantum dot by the linear combination operators in the first time.It is shown that the bound state energy and binding energy decrease with increasing the effective confined length of the quantum dot
and enhance with enlarging the cyclotron resonance frequency.The Fig.1 and 2 present that the magnetopolaron ground state energy

of parabolic quantum dot is as a function of the effective confinement length and the cyclotron resonance frequency.The Fig.3 and 4 indicate that the magnetopolaron binding energy |
