Metallic Coulomb blockade thermometry down to 10 mK and below.
We present an improved nuclear refrigerator reaching 0.3 mK, aimed at microkelvin nanoelectronic experiments, and use it to investigate metallic Coulomb blockade thermometers (CBTs) with various resistances R. The high-R devices cool to slightly lower T, consistent with better isolation from the noise environment, and exhibit electron-phonon cooling [proportional] T(5) and a residual heat-leak ...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade thermometry using a two-dimensional array of tunnel junctions
We have measured current-voltage characteristics of two-dimensional arrays of small tunnel junctions at temperatures from 1.5 K to 4.2 K. This corresponds to thermal energies larger than the charging energy. We show that 2D-arrays can be used as primary thermometers in the same way as 1D-arrays, and even have some advantages over 1D-arrays. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations, which agr...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade in Quantum Dots
In the resonant tunnelling diode we have treated electrons as non interacting particles. We have discussed their wave nature, which led to quantized energy states in small and coherent cavities. Qualitatively this is due to the requirement that an integer number of Fermi wavelengths has to fit between the barriers. Here we begin in the opposite limit by neglecting space quantization effects in ...
متن کاملQuantum Effects in Coulomb Blockade
We review the quantum interference effects in a system of interacting electrons confined to a quantum dot. The review starts with a description of an isolated quantum dot. We discuss the Random Matrix theory (RMT) of the one-electron states in the dot, present the universal form of the interaction Hamiltonian compatible with the RMT, and derive the leading corrections to the universal interacti...
متن کامل0 One and two dimensional tunnel junction arrays in weak Coulomb blockade regime - absolute accuracy in thermometry
We have investigated one and two dimensional (1D and 2D) arrays of tunnel junctions in partial Coulomb blockade regime. The absolute accuracy of the Coulomb blockade thermometer is influenced by the external impedance of the array, which is not the same in the different topologies of 1D and 2D arrays. We demonstrate, both by experiment and by theoretical calculations in simple geometries, that ...
