Electron transport through one quantum dot and through a string of quantum dots
Abstract
We have built strings of quantum dots consisting of 1 up to 4 dots. Transport measurements of these devices show sharp resonant conductance peaks around threshold. Our results are discussed in terms of Coulomb charging and of quantum confinement effects, since both effects are expected to be of the same order of magnitude for these devices. © 1992.
