Wigner molecules in quantum dots: A quantum Monte Carlo study
Semiconductor quantum dots ~QD’s! are small devices containing a tunable number of electrons in an external confinement potential. The significant progress in the fabrication of these devices during the last few years has stimulated an increasing interest in investigating the properties of such systems. From the theoretical point of view, QD’s are ideal many-electron objects for the study of fu...
متن کاملPhonon runaway in carbon nanotube quantum dots
Phonon runaway in carbon nanotube quantum dots" (2008). Other Nanotechnology Publications. Paper 93. We explore electronic transport in a nanotube quantum dot strongly coupled with vibrations and weakly with leads and the thermal environment. We show that the recent observation of anomalous conductance signatures in single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots ͓B. can be understood quantitatively ...
متن کاملCotunneling renormalization in carbon nanotube quantum dots
We determine the level shifts induced by cotunneling in a Coulomb blockaded carbon nanotube quantum dot using leading-order quasidegenerate perturbation theory within a single nanotube “shell.” It is demonstrated that otherwise degenerate and equally tunnel coupled K and K ′ states are mixed by cotunneling and therefore split up in energy except at the particle-hole-symmetric midpoints of the C...
متن کاملWigner molecules in polygonal quantum dots: A density-functional study
We investigate the properties of many-electron systems in two-dimensional polygonal ~triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon! potential wells by using the density-functional theory. The development of the ground-state electronic structure as a function of the dot size is of particular interest. First, we show that in the case of two electrons, the Wigner molecule formation agrees with previous exac...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking and Wigner molecules in few-electron quantum dots
We discuss symmetry breaking in two-dimensional quantum dots resulting from strong interelectron repulsion relative to the zero-point kinetic energy associated with the confining potential. Such symmetry breaking leads to the emergence of crystalline arrangements of electrons in the dot. The so-called Wigner molecules form already at field-free conditions. The appearance of rotating Wigner mole...
