Signature of symmetry of laterally coupled quantum dots in far-infrared spectrum

We study the effect of structure asymmetry on the energy spectrum and the far-infrared spectrum (FIR) of a lateral coupled quantum dot. The calculated spectrum shows that the parity break of coupled quantum dot results in more coherent superpositions in the low-lying states and exhibits unique anti-crossing in the two-electron FIR spectrum modulated by a magnetic field. We also find that the Coulomb correlation effect can make the FIR spectrum of coupled quantum dot without strict parity deviate greatly from Kohn theorem, which is just contrary to the symmetric case. Our results therefore suggest that FIR spectrum may be used to determine the symmetry of coupled quantum dot and to evaluate the degree of Coulomb interaction.     

Topological structure effect on far-infrared spectra in a GaAs/InAs nanoring

On the basis of the growth mechanism of a GaAs/InAs nanoring,we propose a fine model which reflects the confinement details of real nanoring.Through calculations of the two-electron energy and far-infrared(FIR) spectra,we find that the ring topological structure and electron-electron interaction have great influence on the FIR spectra.The two unknown transition peaks in the experiment are determined theoretically.The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experiments.
