Abstract
This tool illustrates the calculation of spin coupling in neighboring quantum dots. The theory behind this calculation is described in “Path integral study of the role of correlation in exchange coupling
in quantum dots and optical lattices,” by Lei Zhang, M. J. Gilbert, and J. Shumway (submitted, 2008). The model is a double parabolic quantum dot, and the user may adjust several parameters, including:
- The dot separation distance.
- The electron effective mass.
- The dielectric constant.
- The interacting charge density in cm-2.
- The spin coupling J in meV.
- The correlation hole when one electron is passing between the dots.
