Transitions between electron-molecule states in electrostatic quantum dots

preprint2006arXivOpen access

Abstract

Intermediate spin states that occur in electrostatic dots in the magnetic field regime just beyond the maximum density droplet are investigated. The 5-electron system is studied with exact diagonalization and group theory. The results indicate that the intermediate spin states are mixed symmetry states with a superposition of 5- and 4-fold electron-molecule configurations. A superposition of 5- and 4-fold correlation functions is found to reproduce the exact mixed symmetry pair correlation function to around 2%.
