Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Single and Molecular Quantum Dots

Yannouleas, Constantine, Landman, Uzi·1999·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Classes of spontaneous symmetry breaking at zero and low magnetic fields in single quantum dots (QD's) and quantum dot molecules (QDM's) are discussed in relation to the ratio ${R}_{W}$ between the interelectron Coulomb repulsion and the harmonic confinement, using spin-and-space unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations. These include Wigner crystallization for ${R}_{W}>1$, and formation of noncrystallized electron puddles localized on the individual dots in QDM's, as well as spin-density waves in single QD's, for ${R}_{W}<1$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
