Shell filling in closed single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dots.
We observe twofold shell filling in the spectra of closed one-dimensional quantum dots formed in single-wall carbon nanotubes. Its signatures include a bimodal distribution of addition energies, correlations in the excitation spectra for different electron number, and alternation of the spins of the added electrons. This provides a contrast with quantum dots in higher dimensions, where such spi...
متن کاملSinglet–triplet physics and shell filling in carbon nanotube double quantum dots
An artificial two-atomic molecule, also called a double quantum dot (DQD), is an ideal system for exploring few-electron physics. Interactions between just two electrons have been explored in such systems using the singlet and triplet states as the two states in a quantum two-level system. An alternative and attractive material for studying spin-based two-level systems is the carbon nanotube (C...
متن کاملQuantum dots in suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes
We present a simple technique which uses a self-aligned oxide etch to suspend individual single-wall carbon nanotubes between metallic electrodes. This enables one to compare the properties of a particular nanotube before and after suspension, as well as to study transport in suspended tubes. As an example of the utility of the technique, we study quantum dots in suspended tubes, finding that t...
متن کاملPhonon runaway in carbon nanotube quantum dots
Phonon runaway in carbon nanotube quantum dots" (2008). Other Nanotechnology Publications. Paper 93. We explore electronic transport in a nanotube quantum dot strongly coupled with vibrations and weakly with leads and the thermal environment. We show that the recent observation of anomalous conductance signatures in single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots ͓B. can be understood quantitatively ...
متن کاملCotunneling renormalization in carbon nanotube quantum dots
We determine the level shifts induced by cotunneling in a Coulomb blockaded carbon nanotube quantum dot using leading-order quasidegenerate perturbation theory within a single nanotube “shell.” It is demonstrated that otherwise degenerate and equally tunnel coupled K and K ′ states are mixed by cotunneling and therefore split up in energy except at the particle-hole-symmetric midpoints of the C...
