On the basis of Lee–Low–Pines (LLP) unitary transformation, the influence of external magnetic field, Rashba spin–orbit coupling and quantum size effect on the ground-state interaction energy of strong-coupling magnetopolarons in quantum disks (QDs) is studied by using the Tokuda improved linear combine operator method. The results show that the ground-state interaction energy of magnetopolarons consists of four parts: the energy caused by the confinement potential of QDs, interaction energy between the electron and external magnetic field, electron and longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon interaction energy and additional term of Rashba effect originating from phonons. The electron–LO phonon interaction energy Ee- ph and additional term of Rashba effect are always negative; the absolute value |Ee- ph | increases with increasing transverse confinement strength ω0, cyclotron frequency of external magnetic field ωc and electron–LO phonon coupling strength α, but decreases with increasing the thickness of QDs L; the state properties of magnetopolarons are closely linked with the sign of the ground-state interaction energy of magnetopolarons E int and change of E int with ωc, ω0, α and L. In addition, the vibration frequency of magnetopolarons λ increases with increasing ωc, ω0 and α, but decreases with increasing L. For the ground state of magnetopolarons in QDs, the electron–LO phonon interaction plays a significant role, meanwhile, the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling effect cannot be ignored.

We deduct conditions for the Hamiltonian coupling strengths necessary to achieve flat bands in polymers (i.e. a pentagon chain) considering many-body spin-orbit coupling and external magnetic field. We consider itinerant electrons on pentagon chains with first neighbour hoppings, on-site electron potentials and spin-flip first neighbour hoppings representing the Rashba type spin-orbit interaction (SOI). The external magnetic field is also present in the system via the Peierls phase factors. The band structure is obtained by solving the secular equation of the diagonalized one particle part of the Hamiltonian in k-space (momentum-space). The flat band conditions make the bands k-independent, providing a highly a degenerate state, which gives broad possibilities for applications. In our work we have shown how the SOI is able to relax the strict, rigid flat band conditions given by the Hamiltonian coupling strengths. The role of the external magnetic field was also investigated.
