Summary: | Phys. Rev. B 69 075311 (2004). We study the magnetic orbital response of a system of N interacting electrons
confined in a two-dimensional geometry and subjected to a perpendicular
magnetic field in the finite temperature Hartree-Fock approximation. The
electron-electron interaction is modelled by a short-range Yukawa-type
potential. We calculate the ground state energy, magnetization, and magnetic
susceptibility as a function of the temperature, the potential range, and the
magnetic field. We show that the amplitude and period of oscillations in the
magnetic susceptibility are strongly affected by the electron-electron
interaction as evidenced in experimental results. The zero-field susceptibility
displays both paramagnetic and diamagnetic phases as a function of temperature
and the number of confined electrons. |
