Abstract

We study the possible lowest energy states for spin-polarized electrons in a parabolic quantum dot in the strong magnetic field, for filling factors 1>ν>~1/3. We present a variational wave function that correctly predicts the possible angular momentum values obtained from numerical diagonalizations. The wave function is optimized using quantum Monte Carlo techniques.
