Tunable few electron quantum dots in InAs nanowires

چکیده
Quantum dots realized in InAs are versatile systems to study the effect of spin-orbit interaction on the spin coherence, as well as the possibility to manipulate single spins using an electric field. We present transport measurements on quantum dots realized in InAs nanowires. Lithographically defined top-gates are used to locally deplete the nanowire and to form tunneling barriers. By using three gates, we can form either single quantum dots, or two quantum dots in series along the nanowire. Measurements of the stability diagrams for both cases show that this method is suitable for producing high quality quantum dots in InAs. Tunable few electron quantum dots in InAs nanowires 2

Gigahertz Quantized Charge Pumping in Bottom-Gate-Defined InAs Nanowire Quantum Dots.
Semiconducting nanowires (NWs) are a versatile, highly tunable material platform at the heart of many new developments in nanoscale and quantum physics. Here, we demonstrate charge pumping, that is, the controlled transport of individual electrons through an InAs NW quantum dot (QD) device at frequencies up to 1.3 GHz. The QD is induced electrostatically in the NW by a series of local bottom ga...
متن کاملScanned probe imaging of quantum dots inside InAs nanowires.
We show how a scanning probe microscope (SPM) can be used to image electron flow through InAs nanowires, elucidating the physics of nanowire devices on a local scale. A charged SPM tip is used as a movable gate. Images of nanowire conductance versus tip position spatially map the conductance of InAs nanowires at liquid-He temperatures. Plots of conductance versus backgate voltage without the ti...

We report the realization of electron intraband absorption based middle~;5.6 mm! and long~;10 mm! wavelength infrared ~IR! photoresponse for normally incident radiation on InGaAs-capped GaAs~001!/InAs quantum dots ~QDs! in a n – i(QD) – n structure. The relative photoresponse in this dual-wavelength structure is tunable up to two orders of magnitude with bias. The full width at half maximum of ...
متن کاملGiant fluctuations and gate control of the g-factor in InAs nanowire quantum dots.
We study the g-factor of discrete electron states in InAs nanowire based quantum dots. The g values are determined from the magnetic field splitting of the zero bias anomaly due to the spin 1/2 Kondo effect. Unlike to previous studies based on 2DEG quantum dots, the g-factors of neighboring electron states show a surprisingly large fluctuation: g can scatter between 2 and 18. Furthermore electr...
