Two Vertically Coupled Quantum Rings with Tunneling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effect of tunneling on the electronic structure of two vertically coupled quantum rings within the spin density functional theory. The ground state configurations of the coupled rings are obtained for a system with 10 electrons as a function of the ring radius and the inter-ring distance. For small ring radius, our results recover those of coupled quantum dots. For large ring radius, new ground state configurations are found in the strong tunneling regime.

Effect of asymmetric quantum dot rings in electron transport through a quantum wire
The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

متن کاملTunneling effects on fine-structure splitting in quantum-dot molecules.
We theoretically study the effects of bias-controlled interdot tunneling in vertically coupled quantum dots on the emission properties of spin excitons in various bias-controlled tunneling regimes. As a main result, we predict substantial reduction of optical fine-structure splitting without any drop in the optical oscillator strength for the coupled dots with high tunneling rates. This special...
متن کاملVertically coupled double quantum rings at zero magnetic field
Within local-spin-density functional theory, we have investigated the “dissociation” of few-electron circular vertical semiconductor double quantum ring artificial molecules at zero magnetic field as a function of interring distance. In a first step, the molecules are constituted by two identical quantum rings. When the rings are quantum mechanically strongly coupled, the electronic states are ...
متن کاملEnhanced shot noise in tunneling through a stack of coupled quantum dots.
We have investigated the noise properties of the tunneling current through vertically coupled self-assembled InAs quantum dots. We observe super-Poissonian shot noise at low temperatures. For increased temperature this effect is suppressed. The super-Poissonian noise is explained by capacitive coupling between different stacks of quantum dots.
