Abstract

We calculate the magnetization of quantum dots deviating from circular symmetry for noninteracting electrons or electrons interacting according to the Hartree approximation. For few electrons the magnetization is found to depend on their number and the shape of the dot. The magnetization is an ideal probe into the many-electron state of a quantum dot.
