Abstract

The Hartree-Fock method for calculating the electronic structure of N-electron quantum dot systems was implemented in Mathematica using an easily understood modular code. Calculations were performed for quantum dot systems containing up to N=18 electrons. The energy spectra obtained are in good agreement with those previously calculated using density functional theory. Qualitative agreement with an experimental spectrum is also obtained.
