Time Dependent Current Oscillations Through a Quantum Dot

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Time dependent phenomena associated to charge transport along a quantum dot in the charge quantization regime is studied. Superimposed to the Coulomb blockade behaviour the current has novel non-linear properties. Together with static multistabilities in the negative resistance region of the I-V characteristic curve, strong correlations at the dot give rise to self-sustained current and charge oscillations. Their properties depend upon the parameters of the quantum dot and the external applied voltages.
