Abstract
Within the framework of effective mass approximation and with the use of finite element method, we calculate the energy states of an electron in a double toroidal quantum ring with a Hopf link structure. The study includes the influence of externally applied static electric and magnetic fields, and considers different geometric combinations of radii and link positions. We have found that geometric manipulations have significant impact on the energy values and the distribution of electronic probability densities in either one or both linked rings. Similar effects can be achieved with the application of the electromagnetic probes.
