β¦ Synopsis
Path integral Monte Carlo simulation results are presented which allow to characterize the equilibrium properties of a few-electron system in a 2D harmonic trap in rigorous manner. In particular, Wigner crystallization is observed and investigated in a broad range of temperature and confinement strength. An analytical expression for the phase boundary of the Wigner crystal is obtained.
