Coulomb blockade in Quantum Dots
In the resonant tunnelling diode we have treated electrons as non interacting particles. We have discussed their wave nature, which led to quantized energy states in small and coherent cavities. Qualitatively this is due to the requirement that an integer number of Fermi wavelengths has to fit between the barriers. Here we begin in the opposite limit by neglecting space quantization effects in ...
متن کاملQuantum Effects in Coulomb Blockade
We review the quantum interference effects in a system of interacting electrons confined to a quantum dot. The review starts with a description of an isolated quantum dot. We discuss the Random Matrix theory (RMT) of the one-electron states in the dot, present the universal form of the interaction Hamiltonian compatible with the RMT, and derive the leading corrections to the universal interacti...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade effects in driven electron transport
We study numerically the influence of strong Coulomb repulsion on the current through molecular wires that are driven by external electromagnetic fields. The molecule is described by a tight-binding model whose first and last site is coupled to a respective lead. The leads are eliminated within a perturbation theory yielding a master equation for the wire. The decomposition into a Floquet basis...
متن کاملDynamical coulomb blockade of multiple Andreev reflections.
We analyze the dynamical Coulomb blockade of multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) in a superconducting quantum point contact coupled to a macroscopic impedance. We find that at very low transmission the blockade scales as n2 with n = Int(2delta/eV), where V is the bias voltage and delta is the superconducting gap, as it would correspond to the occurrence of shots of charge ne. For higher transmis...
متن کاملCoulomb Blockade and Digital Single-Electron Devices
Tunneling of single electrons has been thoroughly studied both theoretically and experimentally during last ten years. By the present time the basic physics is well understood, and creation of useful single-electron devices becomes the important issue. Single-electron tunneling seems to be the most promising candidate to be used in the future integrated digital circuits with the typical size sc...
