Phonon-induced spin relaxation rates in quantum dots are studied as function of in-plane and perpendicular magnetic fields, temperature and electric field, for different dot sizes. We consider Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit mixing in diferent materials, and show how Zeeman sublevels can relax via piezoelectric and deformation potential coupling to acoustic phonons. We find that strong lateral and vertical confinements may induce minima in the rates at particular values of the magnetic field, where spin relaxation times can reach even seconds. We obtain good agreement with experimental findings in GaAs quantum dots.
