p-shell hybridisation and Hund’s rules mitigation: Engineering Hilbert spaces in artificial atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetic-field dependence of many-body states in quantum dots can be tailored by controlling the mixing of various angular momenta. In lateral quantum dots—defined electrostatically in a two-dimensional electron gas—this mixing can be accomplished by introducing anisotropies in the confinement potential, thereby explicitly breaking rotational symmetry. Mixing can be severe enough to violate Hund’s rules, even at zero magnetic field. We illustrate the principle through calculations of states and spectra of four-electron droplets (p-shell) with long-range Coulomb repulsions and confined in anisotropic potentials. Our results show that the Hilbert space in these nanostructures can be engineered to the particular application domain. PACS numbers: 73.21.La, 73.23.Hk, 73.63.Kv, 85.35.Gv

Some Properties of Continuous $K$-frames in Hilbert Spaces
The theory of continuous frames in Hilbert spaces is extended, by using the concepts of measure spaces, in order to get the results of a new application of operator theory. The $K$-frames were introduced by G$breve{mbox{a}}$vruta (2012) for Hilbert spaces to study atomic systems with respect to a bounded linear operator. Due to the structure of $K$-frames, there are many differences between...
متن کاملOn the Decomposition of Hilbert Spaces
Basic relation between numerical range and Davis-Wielandt shell of an operator $A$ acting on a Hilbert space with orthonormal basis $xi={e_{i}|i in I}$ and its conjugate $bar{A}$ which is introduced in this paper are obtained. The results are used to study the relation between point spectrum, approximate spectrum and residual spectrum of $A$ and $bar{A}$. A necessary and sufficient condition fo...
متن کاملShell Filling and Spin Effects in a Few Electron Quantum Dot.
We study atomiclike properties of artificial atoms by measuring Coulomb oscillations in vertical quantum dots containing a tunable number of electrons starting from zero. At zero magnetic field the energy needed to add electrons to a dot reveals a shell structure for a two-dimensional harmonic potential. As a function of magnetic field the current peaks shift in pairs, due to the filling of ele...
متن کامل$L_{p;r} $ spaces: Cauchy Singular Integral, Hardy Classes and Riemann-Hilbert Problem in this Framework
In the present work the space $L_{p;r} $ which is continuously embedded into $L_{p} $ is introduced. The corresponding Hardy spaces of analytic functions are defined as well. Some properties of the functions from these spaces are studied. The analogs of some results in the classical theory of Hardy spaces are proved for the new spaces. It is shown that the Cauchy singular integral operator is...
