Description

The effects of interdiffusion and electrons' Coulomb interaction on the energy spectrum in Gaussian-shaped single and double quantum rings in the presence of magnetic field has been considered in the framework of exact diagonalization method. The one-electron energies as functions of magnetic field for different values of diffusion parameter have been obtained. The two-electron energies and electron probability density distributions are obtained as well. It is shown that the energy oscillations which are more pronounced for a single quantum ring, smooth out due to the interdiffusion. The Coulomb interaction transforms the crossings of the two-electron levels to anticrossings and can lead to the appearance of an additional level between the anticrossing levels.
