At a glance Path integral calculation of exchange coupling of spins in neighboring quantum dots.
Description 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 simulation typically runs for about one minute and solves the interacting two-electron problem to give results that include:
  • The interacting charge density in cm-2.
  • The spin coupling J in meV.
  • The correlation hole when one electron is passing between the dots.
The simulation is driven by the same research code “pi” that drives the simulations in our research paper, but the length of the nanoHUB runs is much shorter. The user has the option of downloading the pimc.xml input file to run the simulations locally and explore simulation convergence. Note: To get precise answers, the simulations must be converged with respect to time step (Trotter number) and sampled thoroughly. Also, the temperature must be low enough to suppress contributions from double occupation of dots. The results and errorbars nanoHUB are a rough guide to the value of the exchange splittings and serve to illustrate this path integral method. You may contact john.shumway@asu.edu for expert advise if you intend to use these results in research applications.
