摘要
Wave-function and interaction effects in the addition spectrum of a Coulomb-blockaded many-electron quantum ring are investigated as a function of asymmetrically applied gate voltages and magnetic field. Hartree and exchange contributions to the interaction are quantitatively evaluated at a crossing between states extended around the ring and states which are more localized in one arm of the ring. A gate tunable singlet-triplet transition of the two uppermost levels of this many-electron ring is identified at zero magnetic field.
