| Abstract | We show that the ground state and magnetization of the macroscopically degenerate shell of electronic states in triangular gated graphene quantum dots depends on the filling fraction of the shell. The effect of degeneracy, finite size, and electron-electron interactions are treated nonperturbatively using a combination of density functional theory, tight-binding, Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction methods. We show that electronic correlations play a crucial role in determining the nature of the ground state as a function of filling fraction of the degenerate shell at the Fermi level. We find that the half-filled charge neutral shell leads to full spin polarization but this magnetic moment can be completely destroyed by adding a single electron. |
