We present experimental results and a model to solve the problem of "in-phase Coulomb peaks" observed in transport through a quantum dot. In a marginal region between Coulomb-blockade and open-dot, we have observed Fano-type interference…
The effect of electron correlation on the photocurrent of self-assembled InAs/InGaAs quantum dot infrared photo-detector (QDIPs) is studied. It is found that Coulomb interaction and level mixing in the many-body open system lead to double…
We study a system of two symmetrical capacitively coupled quantum dots, each coupled to its own metallic lead, focusing on its evolution as a function of the gate voltage applied to each dot. Using the numerical renormalization group and…
We found analytical solution for the time evolution of localized electron density in a system of two coupled single-level quantum dots (QDs) connected with continuous spectrum states in the presence of Coulomb interaction. This solution…
We report the realization of a hybrid superconductor-quantum dot device by means of top-down nanofabrication starting from a two dimensional electron gas in a InGaAs/InAlAs semiconductor heterostructure. The quantum dot is defined by…
An electron-phonon cavity consisting of a quantum dot embedded in a free-standing GaAs/AlGaAs membrane is characterized in Coulomb blockade measurements at low temperatures. We find a complete suppression of single electron tunneling around…
The electron tunneling is experimentally studied between two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in a single-doped-barrier heterostructure in the magnetic fields directed perpendicular to the 2DEGs planes. It is well known that the…
We report on the realization of a few-electron double quantum dot defined in a two-dimensional electron gas by means of surface gates on top of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Two quantum point contacts (QPCs) are placed in the vicinity of…
The conductance through a serial double dot structure for which the inter-dot tunneling is stronger than the tunneling to the leads is studied using the numerical density matrix renormalization group method and analytic arguments. When the…
A new theoretical method is introduced to study coherent electron transport in an interacting multilevel quantum dot. The method yields the correct behavior both in the limit of weak and strong coupling to the leads, giving a unified…
We argue that Coulomb blockade phenomena are a useful probe of the cross-over to strong correlation in quantum dots. Through calculations at low density using variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (up to r_s ~ 55), we find that the…
Using far-infrared spectroscopy, we investigate the excitations of self-organized InAs quantum dots as a function of the electron number per dot, 1<n<6, which is monitored in situ by capacitance spectroscopy. Whereas the well-known two-mode…
The quantum interference effect among coupled identical quantum dots is studied in the present paper in the limit of strong intra-dot Coulomb interaction. When the average electron number in each dot is a fraction of an integer, quantum…
Using Single Electron Capacitance Spectroscopy, we study electron additions in quantum dots containing two potential minima separated by a shallow barrier. Analysis of addition spectra in magnetic field allows us to distinguish whether…
The electrostatic interaction between two capacitively-coupled metal double-dots is studied at low temperatures. Experiments show that when the Coulomb blockade is lifted by applying appropriate gate biases to both double-dots, the…
We investigate the electron addition spectrum in a class of Hubbard-like models which describe arrays of coupled quantum dots. Interdot tunneling leads to a sequence of two phase transitions separating a region of collective Coulomb…
We employ density functional theory to calculate the self consistent electronic structure, free energy and linear source-drain conductance of a lateral semiconductor quantum dot patterned via surface gates on the 2DEG formed at the…
The electrostatic energy of an additional electron on a conducting grain blocks the flow of current through the grain, an effect known as the Coulomb blockade. Current can flow only if two charge states of the grain have the same energy; in…
Tunnelling between two-dimensional electron systems has been studied in the magnetic field perpendicular to the systems planes. The satellite conductance peaks of the main resonance have been observed due to the electron tunnelling assisted…
The tunneling into the {\em bulk} of a 2D electron system (2DES) in strong magnetic field is studied near the integer quantum Hall transitions. We present a nonperturbative calculation of the tunneling density of states (TDOS) for both…
