摘要
The effects of asymmetry on the spin states are studied in elliptical quantum dots. Circular dots possess rotational symmetry. They clearly show atom-like electronic properties such as a shell structure, and Hund's rule which favors parallel spins. Hund's rule is easily broken in elliptical dots because the asymmetric lateral confining potential lifts the degeneracy of the single particle states. The resultant change of the spin states in the elliptical dots is directly confirmed by Zeeman effect measurements. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
