0 Laterally coupled few - electron quantum dots
We present ground-state calculations for laterally coupled quantum dots containing 2, 4, and 8 electrons. As our emphasis is on spin effects our results are obtained by applying spin-density functional theory (SDFT). By varying the distance between the centers of the coupled quantum dots, the transition from weak to strong coupling situation is realized. For the 2-electron system we also apply ...
متن کاملFew-electron quantum dots
We review some electron transport experiments on few-electron, vertical quantum dot devices. The measurement of current versus source–drain voltage and gate voltage is used as a spectroscopic tool to investigate the energy characteristics of interacting electrons confined to a small region in a semiconducting material. Three energy scales are distinguished: the single-particle states, which are...
متن کاملSpins in few-electron quantum dots
The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of spin become apparent in phenomena such as superpositions of spin states, entanglement among spins, and quantum measurements. Many of these phenomena have been observed in experiments performed on ensembles of particles with...
متن کاملImaging Electrons in Few-Electron Quantum Dots
Electrons in a one-electron quantum dot were imaged in the Coulomb blockade regime at liquid He temperatures using a cooled scanning probe microscope (SPM). The SPM images are obtained by scanning a charged tip above the surface of the quantum dot and recording the conductance through the quantum dot in the Coulomb blockade regime as a function of tip position. The lowest energy level in the do...
متن کاملCotunneling spectroscopy in few-electron quantum dots.
Few-electron quantum dots are investigated in the regime of strong tunneling to the leads. Inelastic cotunneling is used to measure the two-electron singlet-triplet splitting above and below a magnetic field driven singlet-triplet transition. Evidence for a nonequilibrium two-electron singlet-triplet Kondo effect is presented. Cotunneling allows orbital correlations and parameters characterizin...
