dc.descriptionInvestigations of the exactly solvable excitation spectra of two-electron quantum dots with a parabolic confinement, for different values of the parameter R_W expressing the relative magnitudes of the interelectron repulsion and the zero-point kinetic energy of the confined electrons, reveal for large R_W a remarkably well-developed ro-vibrational spectrum associated with formation of a linear trimeric rigid molecule composed of the two electrons and the infinitely heavy confining dot. This spectrum transforms to one characteristic of a "floppy" molecule for smaller values of R_W. The conditional probability distribution calculated for the exact two-electron wave functions allows for the identification of the ro-vibrational excitations as rotations and stretching/bending vibrations, and provides direct evidence pertaining to the formation of such molecules.
