The Wigner molecule in a 2D quantum dot
نویسنده
چکیده
The charge density and pair correlation function of three interacting electrons confined within a two-dimensional disc-like hard wall quantum dot are calculated by full numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formation of a Wigner-molecule in the form of equilateral triangular configuration for electrons is observed as the size of the dot is increased. PACS Numbers: 73.20.Dx, 73.61.-r

Voltage-Controlled Entanglement between Quantum- Dot Molecule and its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Quantum Entropy
The time evolution of the quantum entropy in a coherently driven threelevel quantum dot (QD) molecule is investigated. The entanglement of quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission field is coherently controlled by the gat voltage and the intensity of applied field. It is shown that the degree of entanglement between a three-level quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission fields...
متن کاملImpurity effects in few-electron quantum dots: Incipient Wigner molecule regime
– Numerically exact path-integral Monte Carlo data are presented for N ≤ 10 strongly interacting electrons confined in a 2D parabolic quantum dot, including a defect to break rotational symmetry. Low densities are studied, where an incipient Wigner molecule forms. A single impurity is found to cause drastic effects: (1) The standard shell-filling sequence with magic numbers N = 4, 6, 9, corresp...

Using the path integral Monte Carlo method, in this paper, we have calculated energies of a parabolic quantum dot (PQD) under various conditions and the corresponding electron densities. We have studied the effects of parameters such as temperature, number of confined electrons in the PQD, and electron-electron interactions on the PQD’s ground state, from which we have described the forma...
متن کاملWigner Molecules in Nanostructures
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 کاملCrystalline character of high-magnetic-field cusp states in quantum dots
Conditional probability distributions from exact diagonalization are used to investigate the crystalline or liquid character of the downward cusp states in parabolic quantum dots (QD’s) at high magnetic fields. These states are crystalline in character for fractional fillings covering both low and high values, unlike the liquid Jastrow-Laughlin wave functions, but in remarkable agreement with t...
