Imaging quasi-particle wavefunctions in quantum dots via tunneling spectroscopy
arXiv:cond-mat/0408454 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.71.233106
Abstract
We show that in quantum dots the physical quantities probed by local tunneling spectroscopies, namely the quasi-particle wavefunctions of interacting electrons, can considerably deviate from their single-particle counterparts as an effect of Coulomb correlation. From the exact solution of the few-particle Hamiltonian for prototype dots, we find that such deviations are crucial to predict wavefunction images at low electron densities or high magnetic fields.
