  Potential applications of quantum dots in the nanotechnology industry make
these systems an important field of study in various areas of physics. In
particular, thermodynamics has a significant role in technological innovations.
With this in mind, we studied some thermodynamic properties in quantum dots,
such as entropy and heat capacity, as a function of the magnetic field over a
wide range of temperatures. The density of states plays an important role in
our analyses. At low temperatures, the variation in the magnetic field induces
an oscillatory behavior in all thermodynamic properties. The depopulation of
subbands is the trigger for the appearance of the oscillations.
