Localization-Delocalization Transition in a Quantum Dot

Abstract

A model Hamiltonian is proposed in order to understand the localization-delocalization transition in a quantum dot, where there are two gate voltages: top and side. Considering energetically favorable degrees of freedom only, we achieve a finite dimensional Hilbert space. As a result, exact diagonalization is performed to find the ground state energy of the system. It is the purpose to explain the peculiar pattern of the electron addition energy measured in the dot of two gate voltages.
