Kohn-Sham density functional theory for quantum wires in arbitrary correlation regimes

F Malet, A Mirtschink, JC Cremon, SM Reimann… - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
We use the exact strong-interaction limit of the Hohenberg-Kohn energy density functional to
construct an approximation for the exchange-correlation term of the Kohn-Sham approach …

Wigner localization in quantum dots from Kohn-Sham density functional theory without symmetry breaking

CB Mendl, F Malet, P Gori-Giorgi - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We address low-density two-dimensional circular quantum dots with spin-restricted Kohn-
Sham density functional theory. By using an exchange-correlation functional that encodes …

Wigner crystallization in topological flat bands

B Jaworowski, AD Güçlü, P Kaczmarkiewicz… - New Journal of …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the Wigner crystallization on partially filled topological flat bands of kagome,
honeycomb and checkerboard lattices. We identify the Wigner crystals (WCs) by analyzing …

Zigzag phase transition in quantum wires

AC Mehta, CJ Umrigar, JS Meyer, HU Baranger - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We study the quantum phase transition of interacting electrons in quantum wires from a one-
dimensional (1D) linear configuration to a quasi-1D zigzag arrangement using quantum …

Addition spectra of Wigner islands of electrons on superfluid helium

E Rousseau, D Ponarin, L Hristakos, O Avenel… - Physical Review B …, 2009 - APS
We present here an experimental study of Wigner islands formed by electrons floating over
helium. Electrons are trapped electrostatically in a mesoscopic structure covered with a …

Localization in an inhomogeneous quantum wire
