Spin filling of a quantum dot derived from excited- state spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the spin filling of a semiconductor quantum dot using excited-state spectroscopy in a strong magnetic field. The field is oriented in the plane of the two-dimensional electron gas in which the dot is electrostatically defined. By combining the observation of Zeeman splitting with our knowledge of the absolute number of electrons, we are able to determine the ground state spin configuration for one to five electrons occupying the dot. For four electrons, we find a ground state spin configuration with total spin S = 1, in agreement with Hund’s first rule. The electron g-factor is observed to be independent of magnetic field and electron number. 1 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.

متن کاملSpin states in graphene quantum dots.
We investigate ground and excited state transport through small (d≈70 nm) graphene quantum dots. The successive spin filling of orbital states is detected by measuring the difference between ground-state energies as a function of a magnetic field. For a magnetic field in-plane of the quantum dot the Zeeman splitting of spin states is measured. The results are compatible with a g factor of 2, a...
