Abstract
The adiabatic approximation and reaction-coordinate method is applied to the quasiclassical description of nanostructures. In a two-electron model quantum dot, the Schrödinger equation is solved in the vicinity of the transition path connecting two equivalent potential-energy minima. The obtained results demonstrate the formation of a Wigner crystallite.
