Thermodynamic properties of an electron gas in a two-dimensional quantum dot: an approach using density of states
arXiv:2403.04864 · doi:10.3390/quantum6040040
Abstract
Potential applications of quantum dots in the nanotechnology industry make these systems an important field of study in various areas of physics. In particular, thermodynamics has a significant role in technological innovations. With this in mind, we studied some thermodynamic properties in quantum dots, such as entropy and heat capacity, as a function of the magnetic field over a wide range of temperatures. The density of states plays an important role in our analyses. At low temperatures, the variation in the magnetic field induces an oscillatory behavior in all thermodynamic properties. The depopulation of subbands is the trigger for the appearance of the oscillations.
