Abstract
An orbital current mode peculiar to deformed quantum dots is theoretically investigated; first by using a simple model that makes it possible to analytically interpret its main characteristics, and second, by numerically solving the microscopic equations of time evolution after an initial perturbation within the time-dependent local-spin-density approximation. Results for different deformations and sizes are shown.
