摘要
Circular vertical semiconductor single quantum dot artificial atoms and strongly coupled double quantum dot artificial molecules are investigated at high magnetic (B-) fields up to 10 T. The phase diagrams showing the evolution with B-field of the conductance peaks reflecting the electro-chemical potential of the N-electron ground states for N from zero to about 20 are compared, and the origin of the differences is discussed. Tn particular, the stability of the spin-polarized maximum density droplet (MDD) at filling factor, v = 1, is much reduced in the double dot system compared to the single dot system.
