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 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...
متن کاملQuantum Phase in Nanoscopic Superconductors
Using the pseudospin representation and the SU(2) phase operators we introduce a complex parameter to characterize both infinite and finite superconducting systems. While in the bulk limit the parameter becomes identical to the conventional order parameter, in the nanoscopic limit its modulus reduces to the number parity effect parameter and its phase takes discrete values. We evaluate the Jose...
متن کاملParity Effect in Mesoscopic and Nanoscopic Superconducting Particles
Superconductivity in small metallic specimens is studied with regard to the size dependence of the parity gap (∆P ), a parameter distinguishing between the energy of even and odd number of electrons in the granule. ∆P is shown to be an increasing function of level spacing δ. The energy gap of superconductor ∆, on the other hand, decreases with increasing δ and vanishes at δ = δc which is of the...
