Analytical expressions for the width and conductance peak distributions of irregularly shaped quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime are presented in the limits of conserved and broken time-reversal symmetry. The results are obtained…

We report Kondo-like behaviour in a quantum antidot (a submicron depleted region in a two-dimensional electron gas) in the quantum-Hall regime. When both spin branches of the lowest Landau level encircle the antidot in a magnetic field…

Double-slit experiments inferring the phase and the amplitude of the transmission coefficient performed at quantum dots (QD), in the Coulomb blockade regime, present anomalies at the phase changes depending on the number of electrons…

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…

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…

The model under consideration is an asymmetric two-dimensional Coulomb gas of positively (q_1=+1) and negatively (q_2=-1/2) charged pointlike particles, interacting via a logarithmic potential. This continuous system is stable against…

We study transport through a quantum dot side-coupled to two parallel Luttinger liquid leads in the presence of a Coulombic dot-lead interaction. This geometry enables an exact treatment of the inter-lead Coulomb interactions. We find that…

We investigate cross-correlations in the tunneling currents through two parallel quantum dots coupled to independent electrodes and gates and interacting via an inter-dot Coulomb interaction. The correlations reveal additional information,…

We study the dependence of the Kondo temperature on the gate voltage in a strongly blockaded quantum dot with a small single-particle level spacing. We show that the dependence cannot be fitted to that of the Anderson impurity model with…

Non-equilibrium transport through a quantum dot with one spin-split single-particle level is studied in the cotunneling regime at low temperatures. The Coulomb diamond can be subdivided into parts differing in at least one of two respects:…

We present explicit kinetic equations for quantum transport through a general molecular quantum-dot, accounting for all contributions up to 4th order perturbation theory in the tunneling Hamiltonian and the complete molecular density…

We investigate a system of three tunnel-coupled semiconductor quantum dots in a triangular geometry, one of which is connected to a metallic lead, in the regime where each dot is essentially singly occupied. Both ferro- and…

Quantum phase transitions are ubiquitous in many exotic behaviors of strongly-correlated materials. However the microscopic complexity impedes their quantitative understanding. Here, we observe thoroughly and comprehend the rich…

We study electron transport through a system of two lateral quantum dots coupled in series. We consider the case of weak coupling to the leads and a bias point in the Coulomb blockade. After a generalized Schrieffer-Wolf transformation,…

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…

The charge transport of a serially coupled quantum dots (SCQD) connected to the metallic electrodes is theoretically investigated in the Coulomb blockade regime. A closed-form expression for the tunneling current of SCQD in the {\color{red}…

We present finite bias transport measurements on a few-electron quantum dot. In the Coulomb blockade regime, strong signatures of inelastic cotunneling occur which can directly be assigned to excited states observed in the non-blockaded…

We investigate coherent transport in Si:MOSFETs with nominal gate lengths 50 to 100nm and various widths at very low temperature. Independent of the geometry, localized states appear when G=e^{2}/h and transport is dominated by resonant…

We study Coulomb blockade (CB) oscillations in the thermodynamics of a metallic grain which is connected to a lead by a tunneling contact with a large conductance $g_0$ in a wide temperature range, $E_Cg_0^4 e^{-g_0/2}<T<E_C$, where $E_C$…

We calculate the conductance through a quantum dot weakly coupled to metallic leads, modeled by the spin-1/2 Anderson model with finite Coulomb repulsion $U$. We adopt the non-crossing approximation method in its finite-$U$ extension…
