In this paper we use sets of de Broglie-Bohm trajectories to describe the quantum correlation effects which take place between the electrons in helium atom due to exchange and Coulomb interactions. A short-range screening of the Coulomb…
We consider free electrons in rectangular quantum dots, with either hard wall boundary conditions or anharmonic confinement. In both cases, due to finite size effects, a homogeneous electric field applied along one of the rectangular axis…
We present here a model of the exchange-correlation hole for strongly correlated systems using a simple nonlocal generalization of the Wigner--Seitz radius. The model behaves similarly to the strictly correlated electron approach, which…
In this work we describe a model for the exchange interaction of electrons, as it follows from the Pauli exclusion principle. Starting from Hartree-Fock theory and making use of the free electron-gas model we propose a simple scheme to…
We discuss a general form of the exchange energy for a homogeneous system of interacting electrons in two spatial dimensions which is particularly suited in the presence of a generic spin-orbit interaction. The theory is best formulated in…
We study electron pumps in the absence of interference effects paying attention to the spin degree of freedom. Electron-electron exchange interactions combined with a variation of external parameters, such as magnetic field and gate…
We study two correlated electrons in a nearest neighbour tight- binding chain, with both on site and nearest neighbour interaction. Both the cases of parallel and antiparallel spins are considered. In addition to the free electron band for…
