Orbital Ferromagnetism in Interacting Few-Electron Dots with Strong Spin-Orbit Coupling
We study the ground state of N weakly interacting electrons (with N≤10) in a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using dimensionless parameters for the Coulomb interaction λ≲1 and the Rashba coupling α≫1, the low-energy physics is characterized by an almost...
