Asymmetric Wigner molecules in nanowire Y-junctions

Abstract The possibility of crystalline states of interacting electrons, known as Wigner crystals, has been intensively studied in each of the three dimensions. One-dimensional (1D) systems, however, can be interconnected forming two-dimensional (2D) lattices, being a three-terminal Y-junction (Y-J)...
