Spontaneous polarization of electrons in quantum dashes

We investigate the possibility of generating a spontaneous anti-ferroelectric polarization in an array of elongated quantum dots, which we call ‘‘quantum dashes.’’ We suggest ways in which this phenomenon might be observed and point out possible technological applications resulting from this phenome...

Summary:We investigate the possibility of generating a spontaneous anti-ferroelectric polarization in an array of elongated quantum dots, which we call ‘‘quantum dashes.’’ We suggest ways in which this phenomenon might be observed and point out possible technological applications resulting from this phenomenon.
