Spectroscopy, electron-electron interaction, and level statistics in a disordered quantum dot
Abstract
A novel spectrometer is employed to study the spectrum of heavily doped quantum dots. A single-particle discrete spectrum is found to exist only in close vicinity to the Fermi energy. Levels further away are broadened beyond the average level spacing and merge to form a quasi-continuous spectrum. The broadening is traced to electron-electron interaction in the dot. For the discrete part of the spectrum, level statistics is studied as a function of magnetic field and found to agree remarkably well with recent calculations. © 1994 IOP Publishing Ltd.
