The alpha cluster states of 16C are investigated by using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. It is shown that two different types of alpha cluster states exist: triangular and linear-chain states. The former has an approximate…
Nanowires have been considered for a number of applications in nanometrology. In such a context, we have explored the possibility of using ultrathin twisted nanowires as torsion nanobalances to probe forces and torques at molecular level…
This short review presents a few case studies of finite electron systems for which strong correlations play a dominant role. In simple metal clusters, the valence electrons determine stability and shape of the clusters. The ionic skeleton…
The energy levels and optical transitions of tetrahedral core/shell InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by means of multi-band k$\cdot$p theory. Despite the $\overline{T}_d$ symmetry relaxing spherical selection rules, the…
We analize theoretically the dynamics of N electrons localized in a semiconductor quantum ring under a train of phase-locked infrared laser pulses. The pulse sequence is designed to control the total angular momentum of the electrons. The…
Systems of up to twelve electrons and six holes on the Haldane sphere are studied by exact numerical diagonalization. The low lying states of the system involve bound excitonic complexes such as (X^n)-. The angular momenta of these…
By solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian, the electron-hole coherence within a partially proximitized n-doped semiconductor shell of a core-shell nanowire heterostructure is investigated numerically and compared with the Andreev…
The lowest energy configurations for N equal charged particles confined to a thin conducting disc have been investigated in detail up to N=160 and in outline for further values up to N=500. For all values of N up to 160 the particle…
We describe how quantum information may be transferred from photon polarization to electron spin in a semiconductor device. The transfer of quantum information relies on selection rules for optical transitions, such that two superposed…
We find that hexagonal structures forming in semiconductor resonators can range from coherent patterns to arrangements of loosely bound spatial solitons, which can be individually switched. Such incoherent arrangements are stabilized by…
Shell structure of low-lying neutron resonant levels in axially-symmetric quadrupole-deformed potentials is discussed, which seems analogous to that of weakly-bound neutrons. As numerical examples, nuclei slightly outside the…
We demonstrate that the superposition of light polarization states is coherently transferred to electron spins in a semiconductor quantum well. By using time-resolved Kerr rotation we observe the initial phase of Larmor precession of…
Inspired by recent experiments on fully spin polarized Na clusters, we perform a systematic survey of neutral Na clusters at all conceivable spin polarizations. We study the impact of spin state on ionic configuration, on global shape, and…
The electrostatic polarizability for both vertical and horizontal polarization of two conjoined half-cylinders partly buried in a substrate is derived in an analytical closed-form expression. Using the derived analytical polarizabilities we…
The low-lying eigenstates of a system of two electrons confined within a two-dimensional quantum dot with a hard polygonal boundary are obtained by means of exact diagonalization. The transition from a weakly correlated charge distribution…
Crystal orientation and strain mapping of an individual curved and asymmetrical core-shell hetero-nanowire is performed based on transmission electron microscopy. It relies on a comprehensive analysis of scanning nanobeam electron…
In a tight binding framework, we analyze the characteristics of electronic states in strongly disordered materials (hopping sites are placed randomly with no local order) with tunneling matrix elements decaying exponentially in the atomic…
We propose and analyze inter-edge tunneling in a quantum spin Hall corner junction as a means to probe the helical nature of the edge states. We show that electron-electron interactions in the one-dimensional helical edge states result in…
Results of a theoretical study of the electronic properties of (Si)Ge and (Ge)Si core/shell nanoparticles, homogeneous SiGe clusters, and Ge$|$Si clusters with an interphase separating the Si and Ge atoms are presented. In general, (Si)Ge…
A general linear stability analysis of simple metal nanowires is presented using a continuum approach which correctly accounts for material-specific surface properties and electronic quantum-size effects. The competition between surface…
