From single dots to interacting arrays

چکیده
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 dots with strongly overlapping electron density. We also address the the effects on the magnetization of such dot array.

Conductance in quantum wires by three quantum dots arrays
A noninteracting quantum-dot arrays side coupled to a quantum wire is studied. Transport through the quantum wire is investigated by using a noninteracting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian. The conductance at zero temperature develops an oscillating band with resonances and antiresonances due to constructive and destructive interference in the ballistic channel, respectively. Moreover, we have fo...
متن کاملA two-stage shift register for clocked Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata.
Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a computational scheme utilizing the position of interacting single electrons within arrays of quantum dots ("cells") to encode and process binary information. Clocked QCA architectures can provide power gain, logic level restoration, and memory features. Using arrays of micron-sized metal dots, we experimentally demonstrate operation of a QCA latch-invert...

متن کاملSpectral Statistics of Interacting Electrons in Chaotic Quantum Dots
We study the spectral statistics of interacting electrons in clean chaotic quantum dots by numerical diagonalization. We show that interacting particles in chaotic dots exhibit the same short-range level correlations, predicted by random matrix theory, as interacting electrons in disordered systems, while they differ from each other with respect to long-range correlations. We further find that,...
متن کاملSoliton nanoantennas in two-dimensional arrays of quantum dots.
We consider two-dimensional (2D) arrays of self-organized semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) strongly interacting with electromagnetic field in the regime of Rabi oscillations. The QD array built of two-level states is modelled by two coupled systems of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Localized modes in the form of single-peaked fundamental and vortical stationary Rabi solitons and self...
