Resonant Tunneling throughQuantumDots

Motivated by recent experiments we analyse a new setup of capacitively coupled semiconductor quantum dots. We identify a region where Kondo-assisted tunneling should be observable. We nd an eeective mapping to a single quantum dot with controllable multi-level structure. We study electron transport through strongly coupled quantum dots in the presence of strong Coulomb repulsion and coupling to...

Resonant Tunneling and Resonant Excitation Transfer

Issues involved in the tunneling of deuterons in metal deuterides are considered in relation to experimental claims of anomalies in metal deuterides. From earlier studies, screening is thought to be similar to the case of molecular D2. Resonant tunneling has been advocated in the literature as a possible mechanism to achieve tunneling enhancements. We develop a two-level system for a piecewise ...

Resonant tunneling diode oscillators for optical communications

The ability to use resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) as both transmitters and receivers is an emerging topic, especially with regards to wireless communications. Successful data transmission has been achieved using electronic RTDs with carrier frequencies exceeding 0.3 THz. Specific optical-based RTDs, which act as photodetectors, have been developed by adjusting the device structure to include ...
