Abstracts

EN

We analyze influence of an external electric field on magnetic properties of a triple quantum dot system in a triangular and linear geometry. The system contains four electrons and is described by an extended Hubbard model which includes electron correlations and exchange processes. The electric field leads to splitting of energy levels (the Stark effect) and to transition between the singlet and triplet states.
