Finite electron crystallites in strong magnetic fields: Precursors of a supersolid?
Yuesong Li, Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
We show that a supersolid phase, exhibiting simultaneously solid and superfluid behavior, properly describes the finite electron crystallites that form in two-dimensional quantum d…
Electron localization and entanglement in a two-electron quantum dot
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
Calculations for two electrons in an elliptic quantum dot, using symmetry breaking at the unrestricted Hartree-Fock level and subsequent restoration of the broken parity via projec…
Two-dimensional few electron systems in high magnetic fields: Composite-fermion or rotating-electron-molecule approach?
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
A new class of analytic and parameter-free, strongly correlated wave functions of simple functional form is derived for few electrons in two-dimensional quantum dots under high mag…
Magnetic-field Manipulation of Chemical Bonding in Artificial Molecules
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
The effect of orbital magnetism on the chemical bonding of lateral, two-dimensional artificial molecules is studied in the case of a 2e double quantum dot (artificial molecular hyd…
Dissociation, fragmentation and fission of simple metal clusters
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman, Robert N. Barnett
This pedagogical review presents the Shell Correction Method (SCM) and variants thereof, appropriate for describing shape deformations and electronic shell effects, energetics and…
On mesoscopic forces and quantized conductance in model metallic nanowires
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
Energetics and conductance in jellium modelled nanowires are investigated using the local-density-functional-based shell correction method. In analogy with studies of other finite-…
