Furthermore, from mean field calculations (local-spin-density and Hartree-Fock) we find that even two electrons could form a bound state in these dots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-02-12T10:46:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semiconductor heterostructures", "mean field calculations", "semiconductor quantum dots", "peculiar spin properties", "predict confined one-electron states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
