Single electron transport in quantum dots

چکیده
We review our experimental study on the electron transport in quantum dots, formed in the two-dimensional electron gas in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Single electron transport with well-resolved zero-dimensional energy levels is described for both single and coupled quantum dots. Effects of microwave irradiation are also studied, and photon assisted tunneling was observed between two discrete quantum levels in the dots.

Effect of asymmetric quantum dot rings in electron transport through a quantum wire
The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملConfiguration interaction study of the single-electron transport in the vertical gated quantum dot
A theoretical description is presented for a single-electron transport through a vertical gated quantum dot. Using the configuration interaction method we study the correlation effects in the gated quantum dots. We have found that the electron-electron correlation only slightly changes the single-electron tunnelling conditions in the absence of an external magnetic field, but has a pronounced i...
متن کاملOn the Dynamics of Single-Electron Tunneling in Semiconductor Quantum Dots under Microwave Radiation
Efforts are made in this thesis to reveal the dynamics of single-electron tunneling and to realize quantum bits (qubits) in semiconductor quantum dots. At low temperatures, confined single quantum dots and double quantum dots are realized in the twodimensional electron gas (2DEG) of AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures. For transport studies, quantum dots are coupled to the drain and source contacts vi...
