The observation of metallic behavior at the interface between insulating oxides has triggered worldwide efforts to shed light on the physics of these systems and clarify some still open issues, among which the dimensional character of the…
We present transport measurements of a tunable silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor double quantum dot device with lateral geometry. Experimentally extracted gate-to-dot capacitances show that the device is largely symmetric under the gate…
We analyze the valley composition of one electron bound to a shallow donor close to a Si/barrier interface as a function of an applied electric field. A full six-valley effective mass model Hamiltonian is adopted. For low fields, the…
We fabricate planar all-graphene field-effect transistors with self-aligned side-gates at 100 nm from the main graphene conductive channel, using a single lithographic step. We demonstrate side-gating below 1V with conductance modulation of…
The latest field-effect transistors are entering the regime where quantum effects within the conduction channel can play a significant role because of the increasingly reduced dimensions. We investigate the effects of quantized states in…
We report the fabrication and study of Hall bar MOSFET devices in which an overlapping-gate architecture allows four-terminal measurements of low-density 2D electron systems, while maintaining a high density at the ohmic contacts.…
Rapid single shot spin readout is a key ingredient for fault tolerant quantum computing with spin qubits. An RF-SET (radio-frequency single electron transistor) is predominantly used as its the readout timescale is far shorter than the spin…
Band offsets at semiconductor-oxide interfaces are determined through a scheme based on hybrid density functionals, which incorporate a fraction $\alpha$ of Hartree-Fock exchange. For each bulk component, the fraction $\alpha$ is tuned to…
We show that random telegraph signals in metal-oxide-silicon transistors at millikelvin temperatures provide a powerful means of investigating tunneling between a two-dimensional electron gas and a single defect state. The tunneling rate…
We present a method to measure the critical temperature of the island of a superconducting single electron transistor. The method is based on a sharp change in the slope of the zero-bias conductance as a function of temperature. We have…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors offer a promising prospect for high-performance and energy-efficient devices especially in the sub-10 nm regime. Inspired by the successful fabrication of 2D $\beta$-TeO$_2$ and the high on/off ratio and…
We have investigated the static, charge-trapping properties of a hybrid superconductor---normal metal electron turnstile embedded into a high-ohmic environment. The device includes a local Cr resistor on one side of the turnstile, and a…

We study theoretically current quantization in the charge turnstile based on the hybrid (SINIS or NISIN) SET transistor. The quantization accuracy is limited by either Andreev reflection or by Cooper pair - electron cotunneling. The rates…
