In the present investigation, the Shannon entropy‐based magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of GaAs quantum dot (QD) is explored under the simultaneous influence of anharmonicity and Gaussian white noise (GWHN). The symmetry of the anharmonic potential (AHP), the manner of incorporation of GWHN, and the QD confinement interplay with great intricacy to tailor the MCE. AHP of odd (even) symmetry reduces (increases) the confinement of the system relative to the anharmonicity‐free system. Generally, the MCE profiles behave in diverse manner under additive white noise and multiplicative white noise and often show deviation from the noise‐free condition. It is also found that additive (multiplicative) noise lowers (raises) the magnitude of MCE in comparison with the noise‐free values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present enquiry, an in‐depth analysis of internal energy, entropy, heat capacity, and Helmholtz free energy of GaAs quantum dot (QD) which contains Gaussian impurity as dopant and falls under the influence of applied Gaussian white noise (GWHN) is performed. GWHN takes additive and multiplicative routes for its entrance to the doped QD. In this study, highly delicate and complex interplay between temperature, presence/absence of GWHN, mode of incorporation of GWHN, and the particular physical parameters concerned is unveiled. The said interplay, in effect, designs the features of the thermal properties. The enquiry uncovers competitive behavior between thermal disorder and spatial disorder that also affects the said thermodynamic properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
