Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling. We begin by describing several methods to detect the flexural motion of a CNT resonator. Next, we illustrate how single-electron…

Using the transversal vibration resonance of a suspended carbon nanotube as charge detector for its embedded quantum dot, we investigate the case of strong Kondo correlations between a quantum dot and its leads. We demonstrate that even…

We use time-resolved charge detection techniques to investigate single-electron tunneling in semiconductor quantum dots. The ability to detect individual charges in real-time makes it possible to count electrons one-by-one as they pass…

Low-temperature measurements of asymmetric carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dots are reported. The CNTs are end-contacted with one ferromagnetic and one normal-metal electrode. The measurements show a spin-dependent rectification of the…

We present measurements of the rates for an electron to tunnel on and off a quantum dot, obtained using a quantum point contact charge sensor. The tunnel rates show exponential dependence on drain-source bias and plunger gate voltages. The…

We have studied electron transport in clean single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots. Because of the large number of Coulomb blockade diamonds simultaneously showing both shell structure and Kondo effect, we are able to perform a detailed…

We have incorporated an aluminum single electron transistor directly into the defining gate structure of a semiconductor quantum dot, permitting precise measurement of the charge in the dot. Voltage biasing a gate draws charge from a…

We use a novel technique to experimentally explore transport properties through a single metallic nanoparticle with variable coupling to electric leads. For strong dot-lead coupling the conductance is an oscillatory function of the gate…

We employ the time-dependent non-crossing approximation to study the time averaged conductance for a single electron transistor in the Kondo regime when the dot level is sinusoidally driven from its equilibrium position by means of a gate…

We demonstrate the effect of single-electron tunneling (SET) through a carbon nanotube quantum dot on its nanomechanical motion. We find that the frequency response and the dissipation of the nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) to SET…

The frequency dependence of negative differential conductance (NDC) is an important property for the resonant-tunneling-diode terahertz source. Among several phenomena determining the frequency dependence, this paper shows that the effect…

Single electron charging in an individual InAs quantum dot was observed by electrostatic force measurements with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The resonant frequency shift and the dissipated energy of an oscillating AFM cantilever were…

We present microwave frequency measurements of the dynamic admittance of a quantum dot tunnel coupled to a two-dimensional electron gas. The measurements are made via a high-quality 6.75 GHz on-chip resonator capacitively coupled to the…

We observe individual tunnel events of a single electron between a quantum dot and a reservoir, using a nearby quantum point contact (QPC) as a charge meter. The QPC is capacitively coupled to the dot, and the QPC conductance changes by…

We propose a microscopic model for a nanoelectromechanical system made by a radio-frequency driven suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the current. As a main result, we show that,…

We study the transport properties of a quantum dot driven by either a rotating magnetic field or an ac gate voltage using the Floquet master-equation approach. Both types of ac driving lead to photon-assisted tunneling where quantized…

In this paper we report a relaxation-induced suppression of the noise for a single level quantum dot coupled to an oscillator with incoherent dynamics in the sequential tunneling regime. It is shown that relaxation induces qualitative…

We study resonant tunneling through a single-level quantum dot in the presence of strong Coulomb repulsion beyond the perturbative regime. The level is either spin-degenerate or can be split by a magnetic field. We, furthermore, discuss the…

Single-electron tunneling through a zero-dimensional state in an asymmetric double-barrier resonant-tunneling structure is studied. The broadening of steps in the $I$--$V$ characteristics is found to strongly depend on the polarity of the…

We investigate the effect of a quantised vibrational mode on electron tunneling through a chain of three quantum dots. The outer dots are coupled to voltage leads, but the position of the central dot is not rigidly fixed. Motion of the…
