We present a quasiclassical approach to few-electron quantum dots in strong magnetic fields based on the notion of a collectively rotating Wigner molecule. A quasiclassical many-particle wave function is derived and illustrated by its application to a two-electron quantum dot. In particular, we calculate the density-current correlation function (conditional current) and show that the Wigner crystal in high magnetic fields may be visualized as an ordered system of current vortices.
The ballistic conductance of two-dimensional ring calculation results are presented. The influence of the magnetic field and electron elastic scattering on the resonant ring conductance are discussed.
A quasiclassical theory of few-electron quantum dots in a strong magnetic field is developed. The ground state energy and the corresponding many-electron wave function are obtained and used to derive a universal relation of critical magnetic fields and calculate the currents and the density-current correlation function.
