When electrons are trapped in quantum dots acting as artificial atoms, which mechanism limits electron occupancy per orbital state?

💡 Explanation

Electron occupancy is limited by Coulomb blockade effects because adding more electrons dramatically increases electrostatic repulsion, therefore only a finite number can occupy them, rather than an unlimited quantity under simplified models devoid of electrostatic considerations.
