Collective excitations in Quantum Dot

Abstract

We investigate different types of collective excitations in a quantum dot containing finite number of electrons at zero magnetic field. To estimate the excitation energies analytically we follow the energy weighted sum-rule approach. We consider the most general multipole excitation with angular momentum l, and the breathing mode excitation (monopole excitation) of a large quantum dot, for three different types of effective electron-electron interaction. These are the logarithmic interaction, the short range pseudopotential and the coulomb interaction. The ground state density of the many-body system is calculated within Thomas-Fermi approximation. The analytical results for the collective excitation energies and their dependence on the system size and other external parameters are discussed in detail.
