Structure and Correlations for Harmonically Confined Charges
Abstract
Coulomb charges confined by a harmonic potential display a rich structure at strong coupling, both classical and quantum. A simple density functional theory is reviewed showing the essential role of correlations in forming shell structure and order within the shells. An overview of previous comparisons with molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations is summarized and extended.
