Coulomb blockade and hopping conduction in PbSe quantum dots.
We report for the first time on rich and tunable transport phenomena in closed-packed arrays of PbSe colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) in the form of thin films. As the interdot coupling is increased, the system evolves from an insulating regime dominated by Coulomb blockade to a semiconducting regime, where hopping conduction is the dominant transport mechanism. The observed phenomena can be interp...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Coulomb Blockade in Fullerene Single Electron Transistor at Room Temperature
The Graphene based single electron transistor (SET) as a coulomb blockade device need to be explored .It is a unique device for high-speed operation in a nano scale regime. A single electron transfers via the coulomb barriers, but its movement may be prevented by coulomb blockade, so its effect is investigated in this research. The conditions of coulomb blockade and its controlling factors such...
متن کاملChapter 2 . Theory of Coulomb Blockade in Semiconductor Devices
The conductance through a small grain weakly coupled to metallic leads shows periodic dependence on the voltage applied to a gate electrode. This phenomenon is observed in both metallic' and semiconductor 2 devices, and is commonly referred to as the Coulomb blockade. This behavior of conductance is caused by electrostatic energy arising due to a change in the charge of the grain (quantum dot) ...
متن کاملTransport Phenomena in Nanotube Quantum Dots from Strong to Weak Confinement
We report low-temperature transport experiments on single-wall nanotubes with metallic leads of varying contact quality, ranging from weak tunneling to almost perfect transmission. In the weak tunneling regime, where Coulomb blockade dominates, the nanotubes act as onedimensional quantum dots. For stronger coupling to the leads the conductance can be strongly enhanced by inelastic cotunneling a...
متن کاملMesoscopic quantum transport: Resonant tunneling in the presence of a strong Coulomb interaction.
Coulomb blockade phenomena and quantum fluctuations are studied in mesoscopic metallic tunnel junctions with high charging energies. If the resistance of the barriers is large compared to the quantum resistance, transport can be described by sequential tunneling. Here we study the influence of quantum fluctuations. They are important when the resistance is small or the temperature very low. A r...
