A semiclassical approach to the ground state and density oscillations of quantum dots

Abstract

A semiclassical Thomas-Fermi method, including a Weizs\"acker gradient term, is implemented to describe ground states of two dimensional nanostructures of arbitrary shape. Time dependent density oscillations are addressed in the same spirit using the corresponding semiclassical time-dependent equations. The validity of the approximations is tested, both for ground state and density oscillations, comparing with the available microscopic Kohn-Sham solutions.
