Introduction In recent years, there has been intense study of nanostructures such as quantum dots (QD [1 5], quasi-two-dimensional islands of electrons are laterally confined by an externally imposed potential that, in a good approximation, is parabolic. In Ref. [6], the electronic states of interacting electrons in three-electron QD are calculated without making assumptions about the shape of the confining potential and dimensionality of the problem. Theoretical investigations of the ground states of QD have been reported in many papers. As for the standard Hartree and Hartree Fock (HF approximations, there are doubts about their accuracy, since the exchange and correlation energies can be significant in QD [7,8]. * Corresponding author. addresses: yekim@physics.purdue.edu (Y.E. Kim, zubareva@physics.purdue.edu (A.L. Zubarev. A simple way to incorporate the interaction between electrons is to use the Post model [9], interelectron repulsion is replaced by the harmonic interaction [10]. For a critical analysis of this approximation, see Ref. [11]. The Post model [9] was used for a problem in nuclear physics in Ref. [1]. umerical calculations using exact-diagonalization techniques were carried out in Refs. [13 19]. These calculations are computationally extensive and limited to a few ( 6 electrons. The ground states of an -electron QD in magnetic fields have been measured up to 50 [0]. The purpose of this work is to provide a rigorous lower bounds to the ground-state energy of -electron QD in magnetic fields for any. We show that our lower bounds for ground states agree well with the exact results of the diagonalization method. This Letter is organized as follows. In Section, we generalize a lower-bound method developed by Hall and Post [1] for the case of -electron QD in a magnetic field B. In Section 3, lower bounds are found analytically in the large B limit. In Section 4, we /01/$ see front matter 001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PII: S (

Lower bounds The Hamiltonian for interacting electrons confined in a parabolic QD, in the presence of a magnetic field B perpendicular to the dot, can be written as H = 1 m + p i + 1 m Ω r i ω c L z e ɛ r i r j + g µ b BS z, (1 m is the electron effective mass, Ω = ω0 + ωc /4, ω 0 is the parabolic confinement frequency, ω c is the cyclotron frequency, L z is the z component of the total orbital momentum, ɛ is the dielectric constant, g is the effective g-factor, µ b is the Bohr magneton, and S z is the z component of the total spin. In our numerical calculations we use the effective mass m = 0.067m e (m e is the free-electron mass of GaAs QD. ow we introduce the center-of-mass coordinates, R = (1/ r i and P = p i. Using r i = R + 1 (, ri r j ( and L = p i = P + 1 r i p i = R P + 1 (, pi p j ( ri p i + r j p j r i p j r j p i, we can rewrite Eq. (1 as (3 (4 H = H cm + H rel + H z, (5 the first term is the center-of-mass energy, the second term is the relative energy and the last term is the Zeeman energy, with H z = g µ b BS z. H cm and H rel are given by P H cm = m + m Ω R and H rel = H ij, ω c ( R P z H ij = ( p i p j m + m Ω ( r i r j + ( ri p i + r j p j r i p j ω c r j p i z. Hence we have for the ground state energy E = hω + E rel + g µ b BS z, E rel = ψ H rel ψ, e ɛ r i r j (6 (7 (8 (9 (10 and ψ( r 1, r,..., r is the ground state wave function. Using the symmetric properties of ψ we can rewrite Eq. (10 as ( 1 E rel = ψ H 1 ψ. Introducing the Jacobi coordinates ζ i as ζ i = U ij r j, j=1 with (i 1 if j<i+ 1, U ij = 1 ifj = i + 1, 0 ifj>i+ 1, we have H 1 = m ζ 1 + m Ω ζ1 ω ( c ζ 1 h i ζ 1, z + e ɛζ 1 (11 (1 (13 (14 ζ 1 = r 1 r.

Eq. (15 is a generalization of the Hall Post method (which is restricted to the case with only inter-particle forces present and no external potential for obtaining lower bounds to the groundstate energy of -electron QD in a magnetic field B. 3. Large B limit We introduce dimensionless units by making the following transformation: ρ = (1/a ζ 1,a = h/(m ω 0. Using the above dimensionless notation and polar coordinates ρ x = ρ sin θ and ρ y = ρ cos θ, we can write the effective two-body eigenvalue problem H 1 φ g =E g φ g as H 1 u(ρ = [ + 1 = Ẽu(ρ, d dρ + (l 1/4 ρ (1 + λ 4 ρ + γ c ρ lλ ] u(ρ (16 λ = ω c /ω 0, φ g (ρ, θ = e ilθ u(ρ/ ρ, γ c = α m c /( hω 0 /, and Ẽ = E g /( hω 0. The two-body equation, Eq. (16, can be solved numerically to find E g for any arbitrary value of l.the optimal l value, restricted to odd integers for polarized states, minimizes the energy. The two-electron QD has been the subject of intensive study [3,4,8, 6]. In the large magnetic field limit, l becomes large and the term 1/4 in(l 1/4 can be neglected [17], and Eq. (16 can be rewritten as [ d ] (17 dρ + V eff(ρ u(ρ = Ẽu(ρ, V eff (ρ = l ρ + 1 (1 + λ 4 ρ + γ c ρ lλ. (18 In the large-b limit the effective potential V eff, Eq. (18, has a deep minimum, therefore a good approximation to Ẽ can be obtained by making the Taylor expansion of V eff about its minimum [17]. Thus the approximate E g is E g [ 3 (19 4 (γ c /3 + 1 ] λ + 3 hω 0. Substitution Eq. (19 into Eq. (15 gives E E low E [ 3 = hω + ( 1 4 (γ c /3 + 1 ] λ + 3 hω 0 + g µ B BS z.

However, for finite M, the choice β = 1 is not the optimal choice. The most reliable β is obtained from d u M H u M = 0. (6 dβ We apply the method, Eqs. (5 and (6, to compute the lower bounds. Consider a two-dimensional three-electron QD with ɛ = 13.1 and hω 0 = 0.01 mev without a magnetic field, B = 0 [18]. Let M be the number of functions in Eq. (5. Examples of the lower bound to the completely spin polarized three-electron state, S z = 3 h/, corresponding to the different M are given in Table 1. The fast convergence is evident. Comparison of the converging result of Table 1, E g = mev with exact diagonalization calculations of Ref. [18], E g = mev, shows that our lower bound is a very good approximation with relative error of about 0.7% for the ground state energy of the three-electron QD without a magnetic field. ow consider the GaAs QD with ɛ = 1.4 and hω 0 = 4 mev in a strong magnetic field, B = 0 T [19]. Examples of the lower bounds to the completely spin polarized -electron ground state, E low, for up to = 6 electrons are given in Table. umerical results E low agree with large B approximation, Ẽ (Eq.

Summary and conclusion In summary, we have generalized the Hall Post lower-bound method [1] for the case of the -electron parabolic QD in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. It is shown that our rigorous lower bounds agree well with the results of exact diagonalization. For example, lower bounds to the completely spin polarized ground state energy of the three-electron QD agree with exact-diagonalization results to better than 1%. For the case of six-electron QD, the relative error is less than %.
