Electronic structure of few-electron concentric double quantum rings
The ground state structure of few-electron concentric double quantum rings is
investigated within the local spin density approximation. Signatures of
inter-ring coupling in the addition energy spectrum are identified and
discussed. We show that the electronic configurations in these structures can
be greatly modulated by the inter-ring distance: At short and long distances
the low-lying electron states localize in the inner and outer rings,
respectively, and the energy structure is essentially that of an isolated
single quantum ring. However, at intermediate distances the electron states
localized in the inner and the outer ring become quasi-degenerate and a rather
entangled, strongly-correlated system is formed.Comment: 16 pages (preprint format), 6 figure
Optical response of two-dimensional few-electron concentric double quantum rings: A local-spin-density-functional theory study
We have investigated the dipole charge- and spin-density response of
few-electron two-dimensional concentric nanorings as a function of the
intensity of a perpendicularly applied magnetic field. We show that the dipole
response displays signatures associated with the localization of electron
states in the inner and outer ring favored by the perpendicularly applied
magnetic field. Electron localization produces a more fragmented spectrum due
to the appearance of additional edge excitations in the inner and outer ring.Comment: To be published in Physical Review

Un elemento finito 3D para el análisis cinemáticamente no lineal de láminas elastoplásticas
En el análisis de láminas elastoplásticas se debe recurrir a temías de la plasticidad ad
hoc, no derivadas de la teoría tridimensional general sino postuladas a priori y basadas en muchas simplificaciones, o bien tratar el cuerpo como 3D. En este segundo caso, la utilización de elementos convencionales en el Método de los Elementos Finitos (M.E.F.) plantea importantes problemas numéricos, y requiere un tiempo de compntación excesivamente dilatado. En este escrito se presenta un elemento finito 3D pensado especialmente para superar estos inconvenientes. Su desarrollo consta de tres partes bien diferenciadas: la obtención de las inatrices cineináticas necesarias para la resolución del problema estático de
un continuo 3D cualquiera, supuesta conocida la interpolación del campo de desplazamientos; la particularización de éstas al caso laminar, mediante el uso del mode1,o de comportamiento transversal CT1 coino función de interpolación en el espesor; y la reorganización del algoritmo
resultante de las dos fases anteriores para evitar el aumento desmesurado del tiempo de
cálculo cuando se increiiienta el número de puntas de integración en el espesor. Finalmente se incluyen varios ejeinplos que muestran el buen comportamiento del elemento presentado, cuyas principales ventajas son: en primer lugar, que permite proceciar un elevado número de puntos de integración en el espesor con un coste computacional razonable, y a continuación, la capacidad para tratar cualquier geometría de la superficie de referencia de modo muy sencillo
pero sin introducir siiiiplificaciones, y la posibilidad de tratar otros tipos estructurales derivados del laminar utilizando el misnio algoritiiio.When dealing with elastoplastic shell analysis, we must appeal either to suitable theories of plasticity, which aren't the result of the general three-dimensional theory as they have been forinulated a priori and based on many siinplifications, or to the treateinent of the body as a
tliree dimensional one (3D). In tlie second case, there are a lot of numerical probleins arising from the use of conventional
eleinents in the Finite Elenient Metliod (F.E.M.), and also, a long tinie of computation isrequired. In this paper we present a 3D finite element, which is aimed at overcoming the aforesaid disavantages.
Its development is divided into three different parts, first of all the obtention of the kinematic matrices required to solve a static problem of whatever 3D continuous medium, once the interpolation for the displacement field is known. Secondly, their particularization to tbe shell case, through the use of the model of transversal behaviour CTl as the function of interpolation in thickness. The third one is the reorganization of the resulting algorithm from the two previous steps to avoid an excessive increase in the calculation time when the number OS integration points in thickness is raised.
Finally we include severa1 examples showing the good results of the described element,
having some advantages such as: first, the processing of a high number of integration points with a reasonable computational cost; secondly, the ability to deal with any reference surface geometry in a very simple way, without introducing any simplification, and in the third place, the possibility to deal with other kinds of structures derived from the shell model by using the same algorithm.Peer Reviewe
Una generación energética de las condiciones de contorno en láminas de Love-Kirchhoff
Un problema clásico de la teoría de láminas de Love-Kirchhoff (lámina sin deformación
transversal) reside en la correcta definición de las condiciones de contorno estáticas. Después de una serie de artículos principalmente dedicados a la presentación de teorías de láminas completas, autores exponen la obtención de las condiciones de contorno asociadas a una teoría incom.pleta como la de Love-Kirchhoff, denominada CTO en el texto, a partir de una formulación energética consistente con los trabajos anteriores.A classical problem in Love-Kirchhoff shell theory stays in statical boundary conditions
definition. Following some papers mainly dedicated to the construction of complete shell theories, authors show how to obtain boundary conditions consistent with an uncomplete shell theory, as the Love-Kirchhoff theory, by an energy approach compatible with previous work.Peer Reviewe

Excitons in coupled InAs/InP self-assembled quantum wires
Optical transitions in coupled InAs/InP self-assembled quantum wires are
studied within the single-band effective mass approximation including effects
due to strain. Both vertically and horizontally coupled quantum wires are
investigated and the ground state, excited states and the photoluminescence
peak energies are calculated. Where possible we compare with available
photo-luminescence data from which it was possible to determine the height of
the quantum wires. An anti-crossing of the energy of excited states is found
for vertically coupled wires signaling a change of symmetry of the exciton
wavefunction. This crossing is the signature of two different coupling regimes.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures. To appear in Physical Review
