Abstract

AbstractThe exchange coupling in a realistic double quantum dot system is computed as a function of the gate confinement and magnetic field using a hybrid multiscale approach where the many‐body Schrödinger equation is solved exactly within the full quantum dot device environment. It is found that at zero magnetic field the exchange energy varies from meV to sub‐μeV value as the confinement gate biases (tunneling barrier) are changed and the system is driven from a single quantum dot to two coupled quantum dots. At the same time the magnetic field of the singlet‐triplet transition is weakly affected by the changes and remains at about 1 T in the same range of the gate biases. The small values of the exchange coupling in this structure are attributed to the large inter‐electron separation arising when the Coulomb repulsion dominates tunneling.
