On the formation of Wigner molecules in small quantum dots

Abstract

It was recently argued that in small quantum dots the electrons could crystallize at much higher densities than in the infinite two-dimensional electron gas. We compare predictions that the onset of spin polarization and the formation of Wigner molecules occurs at a density parameter $r_s\approx 4a_B^{\ast }$ to the results of a straight-forward diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix.
