Resonant tunneling in graphene pseudomagnetic quantum dots.
Realistic relaxed configurations of triaxially strained graphene quantum dots are obtained from unbiased atomistic mechanical simulations. The local electronic structure and quantum transport characteristics of y-junctions based on such dots are studied, revealing that the quasi-uniform pseudomagnetic field induced by strain restricts transport to Landau level- and edge state-assisted resonant ...
متن کاملResonant Andreev Tunneling in Strongly Interacting Quantum Dots
We study resonant Andreev tunneling through a strongly interacting quantum dot connected to a normal and to a superconducting lead. We obtain a formula for the Andreev current and apply it to discuss the linear and non-linear transport in the nonperturbative regime, where the effects of the Kondo resonance on the two particle tunneling arise. In particular we notice an enhancement of the Kondo ...
متن کاملGeometric broadening in resonant tunneling through Si quantum dots
The current through a resonant tunneling diode consisting of Si quantum dots embedded in a SiO2 matrix is calculated and the resonance broadening effects caused by distributions of quantum dot diameter and asymmetric barrier thicknesses are simulated. It is demonstrated that a size distribution is extremly critical for the use of these structures as selective energy contacts for hot carrier sol...
متن کاملPowerful and efficient energy harvesting with resonant-tunneling quantum dots
The main purpose of energy harvesting is to collect energy from the ambient and to convert it into useful work. Of particular interest are thermoelectric energy harvesters. They can be applied, e.g., in computer chips where they convert waste heat back into electricity. One of the central goals of research in this field is to find highly efficient thermoelectrics. Mesoscopic solid-state physics...
متن کاملResonant tunneling through linear arrays of quantum dots
We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through a linear array of quantum dots with subsequent tunnel coupling. We consider two limiting cases: ~i! the strong Coulomb blockade, where only one extra electron can be present in the array; ~ii! the limit of almost noninteracting electrons. We develop a densitymatrix description that incorporates the coupling of the dots to reservoirs. We an...
