Quantum dots may display fascinating features of strong correlation such as finite-size Wigner crystallization. We here review a few electron spectroscopies and predict that both inelastic light scattering and tunneling imaging experiments are able to capture clear signatures of crystallization.

The simplest possible structural transition that an electronic system can undergo is Wigner crystallization. The aim of this short review is to discuss the main aspects of three recent experimets on the one dimensional Wigner molecule, starting from scratch. To achieve this task, the Luttinger liquid theory of weakly and strongly interacting fermions will be shortly addressed, together with the basic properties of carbon nanotubes that are require. Then, the most relevant properties of Wigner molecules will be addressed, and finally the experiments will be described.

Transport results from measuring ultra-clean two-dimensional systems, containing tunable carrier densities from 7 × 10 8 cm − 2 to ∼ 1 × 10 10 cm − 2 , reveal a strongly correlated liquid up to r s ≈ 40 where a Wigner crystallization is anticipated. A critical behavior is identified in the proximity of the metal-to-insulator transition. The nonlinear DC responses for r s > 40 captures hard pinning modes that likely undergo a first order transition into an intermediate phase in the course of melting.
