Spontaneous magnetization and electron momentum density in three-dimensional quantum dots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss an exactly solvable model Hamiltonian for describing the interacting electron gas in a quantum dot. Results for a spherical square-well confining potential are presented. The ground state is found to exhibit striking oscillations in spin polarization with dot radius at a fixed electron density. These oscillations are shown to induce characteristic signatures in the momentum density of the electron gas, providing a route for direct experimental observation of the dot magnetization via spectroscopies sensitive to the electron momentum density.

Electron correlations, spontaneous magnetization and momentum density in quantum dots
The magnetization of quantum dots (QDs) is discussed in terms of a relatively simple but exactly solvable model Hamiltonian. The model predicts oscillations in spin polarization as a function of dot radius for a fixed electron density. These oscillations in magnetization are shown to yield distinct signature in the momentum density of the electron gas, suggesting the usefulness of momentum reso...

In this article, the temperature behavior of output power of superluminescent light-emitting diode (SLED) by considering the effect of non-radiative recombination coefficient, non-radiative spontaneous emission coefficient and Auger recombination coefficients has been investigated. For this aim, GaN pyramidal quantum dots were used as the active region. The numerical method has been used to sol...
متن کاملEdge and Bulk Merons in Double Quantum Dots with Spontaneous Interlayer Phase Coherence
Received Day Month Year Revised Day Month Year We have investigated nucleation of merons in double quantum dots when a lateral distortion with a reflection symmetry is present in the confinement potential. We find that merons can nucleate both inside and at the edge of the dots. In addition to these merons, our results show that electron density modulations can be also present inside the dots. ...
متن کاملFrom single dots to interacting arrays
We explore the structural changes in charge the density and the electron configuration of quantum dots caused by the presence of other dots in an array, and the interaction of neighboring dots. We discuss what recent measurements and calculation of the far-infrared absorption reveal about almost isolated quantum dots and investigate some aspects of the complex transition from isolated dots to d...
متن کاملModelling of self-organized InAs quantum dots embedded in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure
Abstract We present results from a detailed simulation of InAs quantum dots embedded in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure with a self-consistent three-dimensional solver of the Poisson–Schrödinger equation based on density functional theory and local density approximation. Single-electron effects in the structure are evaluated by computing the electrochemical potential by means of Slater’s transit...
