The distribution of Coulomb blockade peak heights as a function of magnetic field is investigated experimentally in a Ge-Si nanowire quantum dot. Strong spin-orbit coupling in this hole-gas system leads to antilocalization of Coulomb…

We consider statistical correlations between the heights of conductance peaks corresponding to two different levels in a Coulomb-blockaded quantum dot. Correlations exist for two peaks at the same magnetic field if the field does not fully…

Closed expressions are derived for the resonance widths and Coulomb blockade conductance peak heights in quantum dots for the crossover regime between conserved and broken time-reversal symmetry. The results hold for leads with any number…

The average height of the Coulomb-blockade conductance peaks for chaotic elastic scattering is known to increase by a factor of 4/3 upon breaking time-reversal symmetry. We calculate the temperature dependence of this factor in the regime…

Distributions of Coulomb blockade peak spacing are reported for large ensembles of both unbroken (magnetic field B = 0) and broken (B <> 0) time reversal symmetry in GaAs quantum dots. Both distributions are symmetric and roughly gaussian…

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…

We derive a closed expression for the linear conductance through a quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockade regime in the presence of a constant exchange interaction. With this expression we calculate the temperature dependence of the…

We derive closed expressions for the universal weak localization peak of the average conductance peak heights in Coulomb blockade quantum dots in the crossover from orthogonal to unitary symmetry. The scale for the crossover is independent…

We discuss a new entangled state that has been observed in the conduction across a quantum dot. At Coulomb blockade, electrons from the contacts correlate strongly to those localized in the dot, due to cotunneling processes. Because of the…

We study the effects of short-time classical dynamics on the distribution of Coulomb blockade peak heights in a chaotic quantum dot. The location of one or both leads relative to the short unstable orbits, as well as relative to the…

We show that randomness of the electron wave functions in a quantum dot contributes to the fluctuations of the positions of the conductance peaks. This contribution grows with the conductance of the junctions connecting the dot to the…

The fluctuations and the distribution of the conductance peak spacings of a quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockade regime are studied and compared with the predictions of random matrix theory (RMT). The experimental data were obtained in…

Analytical expressions for width and conductance peak distributions for quantum dots with multi-channel leads in the Coulomb blockade regime are presented for both limits of conserved and broken time-reversal symmetry. The results are valid…

We present an experimental study of the fluctuations of Coulomb blockade peak positions of a quantum dot. The dot is defined by patterning the two-dimensional electron gas of a silicon MOSFET structure using stacked gates. This permits…

We develop a semiclassical theory of Coulomb blockade peak heights in chaotic quantum dots. Using Berry's conjecture, we calculate the peak height distributions and the correlation functions. We demonstrate that the corrections to the…

We investigate the autocorrelator of conductance peak heights for quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime. Analytical and numerical results based on Random Matrix Theory are presented and compared to exact numerical calculations based…

We study the mechanism of nuclear spin relaxation in quantum dots due to the electron exchange with 2D gas. We show that the nuclear spin relaxation rate is dramatically affected by the Coulomb blockade and can be controlled by gate…

Quantum fluctuations of Coulomb blockade are investigated as a function of the coupling to reservoirs in semiconductor quantum dots. We use fluctuations in the distance between peaks $\Delta N$ apart to characterize both the amplitude and…

To lowest order in the coupling strength, the spin-orbit coupling in quantum dots results in a spin-dependent Aharonov-Bohm flux. This flux decouples the spin-up and -down random matrix theory ensembles of the quantum dot. We employ this…

We show that two intriguing features of mesoscopic transport, namely the modulation of Coulomb blockade peak-heights and the transmission phase-lapses occurring between subsequent peaks, are closely related. Our analytic arguments are…
