Order-disorder transition in nanoscopic semiconductor quantum rings.
Using the path integral Monte Carlo technique we show that semiconductor quantum rings with up to six electrons exhibit a temperature, ring diameter, and particle number dependent transition between spin ordered and disordered Wigner crystals. Because of the small number of particles the transition extends over a broad temperature range and is clearly identifiable from the electron pair correla...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of nanoscopic semiconductor rings.
Making use of self-assembly techniques, we realize nanoscopic semiconductor quantum rings in which the electronic states are in the true quantum limit. We employ two complementary spectroscopic techniques to investigate both the ground states and the excitations of these rings. Applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the rings, we find that, when approximately one flux quantum t...
متن کاملOrder-disorder transition in a two-layer quantum antiferromagnet.
We have studied the antiferromagnetic order – disorder transition occurring at T = 0 in a 2-layer quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet as the interplane coupling is increased. Quantum Monte Carlo results for the staggered structure factor in combination with finite-size scaling theory give the critical ratio Jc = 2.51 ± 0.02 between the inter-plane and in-plane coupling constants. The critical be...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics of Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Rings
The progress of semiconductor physics in the decade 1970-1980 is connected with gradual deviation from the electronic band structure of ideal crystal of Bloch picture (Bloch, 1928) where, unlike atomic world with its discrete and precisely defined, in the limits of uncertainty relation, energy levels, energy of bound electron is a multivalued function of momentum in the energy band and density ...
متن کاملMagnetic reversal in nanoscopic ferromagnetic rings
We present a theory of magnetization reversal due to thermal fluctuations in thin submicron-scale rings composed of soft magnetic materials. The magnetization in such geometries is more stable against reversal than that in thin needles and other geometries, where sharp ends or edges can initiate nucleation of a reversed state. The two-dimensional ring geometry also allows us to evaluate the eff...
