For a quantum dot (QD) in the intermediate regime between integrable and fully chaotic, the widths of single-particle levels naturally differ by orders of magnitude. In particular, the width of one strongly coupled level may be larger than…

Coulomb blockade (CB) in a quantum dot (QD) with one anomalously broad level is considered. In this case many consecutive pronounced CB peaks correspond to occupation of one and the same broad level. Between the peaks the electron jumps…

We measure the magneto-conductance through a micron-sized quantum dot hosting about 500 electrons in the quantum Hall regime. In the Coulomb blockade, when the island is weakly coupled to source and drain contacts, edge reconstruction at…

We study transport through a quantum dot in the fractional quantum Hall regime with filling factors \nu=2/3 and \nu=5/2, weakly coupled to the leads. We account for both injection of electrons to/from the leads, and quasiparticle…

For Coulomb blockade peaks in the linear conductance of a quantum dot, we study the correction to the spacing between the peaks due to dot-lead coupling. This coupling can affect measurements in which Coulomb blockade phenomena are used as…
