The transport properties of an interacting one-dimensional quantum dot capacitively coupled to an atomic force microscope probe are investigated. The dot is described within a Luttinger liquid framework which captures both Friedel and…
We study $N$ interacting massless Dirac fermions confined in a two-dimensional quantum dot. Physical realizations of this problem include a graphene monolayer and the surface state of a strong topological insulator. We consider both a…
We study the development of electron-electron correlations in circular quantum dots as the density is decreased. We consider a wide range of both electron number, N<=20, and electron gas parameter, r_s<18, using the diffusion quantum Monte…
We study electronic transport through a strongly interacting quantum dot by using the finite temperature extension of Wilson's numerical renormalization group (NRG) method. This allows the linear conductance to be calculated at all…
Electron transport properties of few-electron open quantum dots within the spin-restricted Hartree-Fock approximation are studied. The self-consistent numerical calculations were performed for a whole device, including the semi-infinite…
The influence of the electron-vibron coupling on the transport properties of a strongly interacting quantum dot built in a suspended carbon nanotube is analyzed. The latter is probed by a charged AFM tip scanned along the axis of the CNT…
We investigate the transport properties of quantum dots placed in strong magnetic field using a quantum-mechanical ' approach based on the 2D tight-binding Hamiltonian with direct Coulomb interaction and the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker (LB)…
The linear conductance of a carbon nanotube quantum dot in the Wigner molecule regime, coupled to two scanning tunnel microscope tips is inspected. Considering the high temperature regime, the nanotube quantum dot is described by means of…
We perform unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations for electrons in a parabolic quantum dot at zero magnetic field. The crossover from Fermi liquid to Wigner molecule behavior is studied for up to eight electrons and various spin…
We show that electrons in coupled quantum dots characterized by high aspect ratios undergo abrupt density rotations when the dots are biased into an asymmetric confinement configuration. Density rotations occur with electron transfer to a…
Quantum dots are versatile systems for exploring quantum transport, electron correlations, and many-body phenomena such as the Kondo effect. While equilibrium properties are well understood through methods like the numerical renormalization…
The crystalline or liquid character of the downward cusp states in N-electron parabolic quantum dots (QD's) at high magnetic fields is investigated using conditional probability distributions obtained from exact diagonalization. These…
We evaluate the chemical potential of a one-dimensional quantum dot, coupled to an atomic force microscope tip. The dot is described within the Luttinger liquid framework and the conductance peaks positions as a function of the tip location…
The transport through a quantum wire exposed to two magnetic spikes in series is modeled. We demonstrate that quantum dots can be formed this way which couple to the leads via magnetic barriers. Conceptually, all quantum dot states are…
We perform Hartree-Fock calculations to show that quantum dots (i.e. two dimensional systems of up to twenty interacting electrons in an external parabolic potential) undergo a gradual transition to a spin-polarized Wigner crystal with…
Quantum transport properties through some multilevel quantum dots sandwiched between two metallic contacts are investigated by the use of Green's function technique. Here we do parametric calculations, based on the tight-binding model, to…
The conductance through a finite quantum dot network is studied as a function of inter-dot coupling. As the coupling is reduced, the system undergoes a transition from the antidot regime to the tight binding limit, where Coulomb resonances…
In the limit of low particle density, electrons confined to a quantum dot form strongly correlated states termed Wigner molecules, in which the Coulomb interaction causes the electrons to become highly localized in space. By using an…
Unprecedented control over the manufacture of electronic devices on nanometer scale has allowed to perform highly controllable and fine-tuned experiments in the quantum regime where exotic effects can nowadays be measured. In quantum dot…
The charge density and pair correlation function of three interacting electrons confined within a two-dimensional disc-like hard wall quantum dot are calculated by full numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formation of a…
