Effective interaction for charge carriers confined in quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
A problem of interacting charge carriers confined in quasi-one-dimensional ~1D! semiconductor nanostructures has been studied. We have derived an analytical 1D formula for the effective interaction potential between the confined charge carriers. We have applied both the 1D model with the effective potential and the full three-dimensional ~3D! approach to an electron pair confined in a single and double quantum dot as well as to an exciton confined in a quantum wire. Comparing the results of the 1D and 3D approaches we have discussed the applicability of the effective 1D interaction potential to the real 3D nanostructures. We have shown that the present effective interaction leads to accurate results for weakly coupled multiple quantum dots and wire-like nanostructures, i.e., the quantum wires and dots with the lateral confinement much stronger than the longitudinal one.

The one– and two– particle densities of up to four interacting electrons with spin, confined within a quasi one–dimensional “quantum dot” are calculated by numerical diagonalization. The transition from a dense homogeneous charge distribution to a dilute localized Wigner–type electron arrangement is investigated. The influence of the long range part of the Coulomb interaction is studied. When t...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of the charge carrier mobility in gated quasi-one-dimensional systems
The many-body Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the frequency-dependent conductivity and the average mobility of a system of hopping charges, electronic or ionic, on a one-dimensional chain or channel of finite length. Two cases are considered: the chain is connected to electrodes and in the other case the chain is confined, giving zero dc conduction. The concentration of charge is varied ...
متن کاملGross violation of the Wiedemann–Franz law in a quasi-one-dimensional conductor
When charge carriers are spatially confined to one dimension, conventional Fermi-liquid theory breaks down. In such Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, quasiparticles are replaced by distinct collective excitations of spin and charge that propagate independently with different velocities. Although evidence for spin-charge separation exists, no bulk low-energy probe has yet been able to distinguish succ...

In this work we will introduce quantum dots, wires and wells as nanostructure objects with different dimensionality. We will demonstrate the effect of applied external static electric field on the example of semiconductor quantum wells and the appearance of Stark effect. We will briefly allude to some of the optoelectronic devices using Stark effect. The influence of quantum well concentration ...
متن کاملSpatial ordering of charge and spin in quasi-one-dimensional Wigner molecules
Few-electron systems confined in quasi-one-dimensional quantum dots are studied by the configuration interaction approach. We consider the parity symmetry of states forming Wigner molecules in large quantum dots and find that for the spin-polarized Wigner molecules it strictly depends on the number of electrons. We investigate the spatial spin ordering in the inner coordinates of the quantum sy...
