摘要: The electronic energy spectrum and wavefunction of a quantum-dot molecule are studied by means of the finite-element solution of the single electron Schr?dinger equation. We find that the nature of the coupling can be covalent, ionic, or "intermediate" new mixed states, depending on various parameters such as the separation distance between two dots, the height of potential barrier, matching of the energies and parities of the orbital localized on each dot. The bond property can be used to explain the experimental result obtained by Oosterkamp et al. (1998 Nature 395 873).
