RESUMO

We study the effect of tunneling on the electronic structure of two vertically coupled quantum rings within the spin density functional theory. The ground state configurations of the coupled rings are obtained for a system with 10 electrons as a function of the ring radius and the inter-ring distance. For small ring radius, our results recover those of coupled quantum dots. For large ring radius, new ground state configurations are found in the strong tunneling regime.
