The Crossover between Liquid and Solid Electron Phases in Quantum Dots: A Large-Scale Configuration-Interaction Study

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-05-23 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We study the crossover between liquid and solid electron phases in a two-dimensional harmonic trap as the density is progressively diluted. We infer the formation of geometrically ordered phases from charge distributions and pair correlation functions obtained via a large scale configuration interaction calculation.
