Kinetic modelling of electron tunneling processes in quantum dots coupled to field-effect transistors
Transport of electrons in semiconductor nano-structures exhibits many features that are a consequence of quantum confinement and Coulomb blockade. A quantum dot coupled to a metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor’s channel region is one example of such a structure with utility as a dense semiconductor memory. The memory state of this unit cell is a function of the number of electrons stored in th...
متن کاملSpin interactions and switching in vertically tunnel-coupled quantum dots
We determine the spin-exchange coupling J between two electrons located in two vertically tunnel-coupled quantum dots, and its variation when magnetic ~B! and electric ~E! fields ~both in-plane and perpendicular! are applied. We predict a strong decrease of J as the in-plane B field is increased, mainly due to orbital compression. Combined with the Zeeman splitting, this leads to a singlet-trip...

متن کاملMagnetic-field-induced singularities in spin dependent tunneling through InAs quantum dots
Current steps attributed to resonant tunneling through individual InAs quantum dots embedded in a GaAs-AlAs-GaAs tunneling device are investigated experimentally in magnetic fields up to 28 T. The steps evolve into strongly enhanced current peaks in high fields. This can be understood as a fieldinduced Fermi-edge singularity due to the Coulomb interaction between the tunneling electron on the q...
متن کاملEffect of external magnetic field on electron spin dephasing induced by hyperfine interaction in quantum dots
We investigate the influence of an external magnetic field on spin phase relaxation of single electrons in semiconductor quantum dots induced by the hyperfine interaction. The basic decay mechanism is attributed to the dispersion of local effective nuclear fields over the ensemble of quantum dots. The characteristics of electron spin dephasing is analyzed by taking an average over the nuclear s...
