Ground-state self-consistent calculation of quantum dots under magnetic fields: Addition spectrum
نویسنده
چکیده
A density-functional self-consistent calculation of the ground-state electronic density of quantum dots under an arbitrary magnetic field is performed. We consider a parabolic lateral confining potential. The addition energy, E(N11)2E(N), where N is the number of electrons, is compared with experimental data and the different contributions to the energy are analyzed. The Hamiltonian is modeled by a density functional, which includes the exchange and correlation interactions and the local formation of Landau levels for different equilibrium spin populations. We obtain an analytical expression for the critical density under which spontaneous polarization, induced by the exchange interaction, takes place. @S0163-1829~98!07740-6#

The stability of two-dimensional magnetobipolarons in parabolic quantum dots
Using a variational procedure based on Lee-Low-Pines and Huybrechts canonical transformations, we study the stability region of two-dimensional bipolarons confined in a parabolic quantum dot, subject to a uniform magnetic field. In the framework of our approach, we calculate the ground-state energy for two-dimensional magnetobipolarons, together with the free polaron ground-state energy, by per...
متن کاملQuantum dots in carbon nanotubes
In this overview paper, we present low-temperature electronic transport measurements of carbon nanotube quantum dots with a back gate. In a semiconducting tube, charge carriers could be completely depleted. The addition energy and the excitation spectrum have been studied as a function of the number of charges (electrons or holes), one by one. We observe electron–hole symmetry, which is a direc...

Interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. Numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. In this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD). The simulation is based on the imaginary time...

متن کامل3 Incompressible States in Double Quantum Dots
Incompressible (magic) states that result from many-body effects in vertically coupled quantum dots submitted to strong magnetic fields such that only the lowest Landau level is relevant are studied within an exact diagonalization calculation for N = 3, 5 and 6, electrons. We find that the sequences of total angular momentum M for which these incompress-ible states exist depend on the interplay...
