Spatial ordering of charge and spin in quasi-one-dimensional Wigner molecules

چکیده
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 system and conclude that for small dots it has a short-range character and results mainly from the Pauli exclusion principle while the Wigner crystallization in large dots is accompanied by spin ordering over the entire length of the dot.

Wigner 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 کاملPrediction of new structure candidates for quasi one-dimensional Wigner crystals
The still young family of quasi one-dimensional mixed valent sodium cuprates(II/III), Na1+xCuO2 [1], represents intrinsically doped Mott insulators, i.e. they show unperturbed periodicities, and thus are well suited for experimentally and theoretically studying phenomena related to charge, spin and orbital ordering in mixed valent oxocuprates. Most interestingly, Na3Cu2O4 and Na8Cu5O10 have bee...
متن کاملWigner crystal physics in quantum wires.
The physics of interacting quantum wires has attracted a lot of attention recently. When the density of electrons in the wire is very low, the strong repulsion between electrons leads to the formation of a Wigner crystal. We review the rich spin and orbital properties of the Wigner crystal, in both the one-dimensional and the quasi-one-dimensional regimes. In the one-dimensional Wigner crystal ...
متن کاملDimensional crossover in quasi-one-dimensional and high-Tc superconductors
The one-dimensional electron gas exhibits spin-charge separation and power-law spectral responses to many experimentally relevant probes. Ordering in a quasi-one-dimensional system is necessarily associated with a dimensional crossover, at which sharp quasiparticle peaks, with small spectral weight, emerge from the incoherent background. Using methods of Abelian bosonization, we derive asymptot...
متن کاملTuning the magnetic dimensionality by charge ordering in the molecular TMTTF salts.
We theoretically investigate the interplay between charge ordering and magnetic states in quasi-one-dimensional molecular conductors TMTTF(2)X, motivated by the observation of a complex variation of competing and/or coexisting phases. We show that the ferroelectric-type charge order increases two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin correlation, whereas in the one-dimensional regime two different...
