Wigner crystal physics in quantum wires

JS Meyer, KA Matveev - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The physics of interacting quantum wires has attracted a lot of attention recently. When the
density of electrons in the wire is very low, the strong repulsion between electrons leads to …
