Electronic spectroscopy of zero-dimensional systems
Abstract
We have measured the thermodynamic properties of dispersionless electronic systems. We observe structure in the capacitance of quantum dots reflecting the discrete energy levels of electrons confined in all three spatial dimensions. The spacings of the observed structure and the systematic variation with the degree of confinement are consistent with quantum-size effects. © 1988 The American Physical Society.
