چکیده

We demonstrate how rate equations can be employed to find analytical expressions for the sequential tunneling current through a quantum dot as a function of the tunnel rates, for an arbitrary number of states involved. We apply this method at the one-to-two electron transition where the electron states are known exactly. By comparing the obtained expressions to experimental data, the tunnel rates for six transitions are extracted. We find that these rates depend strongly on the spin and orbital states involved in the tunnel process.

We investigate the spreading of 4 He droplets on alkali surfaces at zero temperature, within the frame of Finite Range Density Functional theory. The equilibrium configurations of several 4 He N clusters and their asymptotic trend with increasing particle number N , which can be traced to the wetting behavior of the quantum fluid, are examined for nanoscopic droplets. We discuss the size effect...

We investigate the electronic structure of the beryllium atom subjected to a strong magnetic field in the regime 0 ≤ γ ≤ 10 a.u. The ground as well as many excited states of spin singlet, triplet and quintet multiplicity covering the magnetic quantum numbers |M | = 0, 1, 3, 6 for both positive and negative z−parity are discussed and analyzed. Total and one-particle ionization energies are prese...

We study the shearing of polydisperse and bidisperse media with a size ratio of 10. Simulations are performed with a the two dimensional shear cell using contact dynamics. With a truncated power law for the polydisperse media we find that they show a stronger dilatancy and greater resistance to shearing than bidisperse mixtures. Motivated by the practical problem of reducing the energy needed t...
