Coulomb Blockade of a Mesoscopic RLC Circuit

The quantum theory of the mesoscopic RLC circuit and the condition for Coulomb blockade are given by using canonical quantization and a unitary transformation from the classical equation of motion. Our results show that there is a threshold voltage _T in the circuit. The threshold voltage is related not only to the junction capacitance and inductance, but also to the resistance of the circuit. Generally speaking, the larger the resistance, the larger the threshold voltage. This clarifies the phenomenon of the Coulomb blockade of the dissipative mesoscopic circuit.     

Interference and interactions in mesoscopic rings

We consider a mesoscopic ring connected to external reservoirs by tunnel junctions. The ring is capacitively coupled to an external gate electrode and may be pierced by a magnetic field. Due to strong electron–electron interactions within the ring the conductance shows Coulomb blockade oscillations as a function of the gate voltage, while Aharonov–Bohm interference effects lead to a dependence on the magnetic flux. The Hamiltonian of the ring is given by a Luttinger model that allows for an exact treatment of both interaction and interference effects. We conclude that the positions of conductance maxima as a function the external parameters can be used to determine the interaction parameter , and the shapes of conductance peaks are strongly affected by electron correlations within the ring.     

Quantum state measurement in double quantum dots with a radio-frequency quantum point contact

We study the dynamics of two electron spins in coupled quantum dots （CQDs） monitored by a quantum point contact （QPC） detector. Their quantum state can be measured by embedding the QPC in an LC circuit. We derive the Bloch-type rate equations of the reduced density matrix for CQDs. Special attention is paid to the numerical results for the weak measurement condintion under a strong Coulomb interaction. It is shown that the evolution of QPC current always follows that of electron occupation in the right dot. In addition, we find that the output voltage of the circuit can reflect the evolution of QPC current when the circuit and QPC are approximately equal in frequency. In particular, the wave shape of the output voltage can be improved by adjusting the circuit resonance frequency and bandwidth.

Transport Characteristics of Mesoscopic Radio-Frequency Single Electron Transistor

The transport property of a quantum dot under the influence of external time-dependent field is investigated. The mesoscopic device is modelled as semiconductor quantum dot coupled weakly to superconducting leads via asymmetric double tunnel barriers of different heights. An expression for the current is deduced by using the Landauer-Buttiker formula, taking into consideration of both the Coulomb blockade effect and the magnetic field. It is found that the periodic oscillation of the current with the magnetic field is controlled by the ratio of the frequency of the applied ac-field to the electron cyclotron frequency. Our results show that the present device operates as a radio-frequency single electron transistor.

Single-electron spin-dependent transport in split-gate structures containing self-assembled quantum dots

Study of split-gate structures, in which self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are located near the region of 2D electron gas, has revealed Coulomb oscillations in the dependence of the tunnel current through a limited number of InAs QDs in a channel on the gate voltage, which correspond to the excited states of QDs with opposite spins. The Coulomb oscillations of the current were observed up to a temperature of ～20 K. The Coulomb energy ΔE _C was found to be 12.5 meV, a value corresponding to the theoretical estimates for p states of QDs in our experimental structures.     

Single electron tunneling rates in multijunction circuits

The rate of electron tunneling through normal metal tunnel junctions is calculated for the case of ultrasmall junction capacitances. The so-called Coulomb blockade of electron tunneling at low temperatures is shown to be strongly affected by the external electrical circuit. Under the common experimental condition of a low impedance environment the Coulomb blockade is suppressed for single tunnel junctions. However, a Coulomb gap structure emerges for junctions embedded in a high impedance environment. For a double junction setup a Coulomb blockade of tunneling arises even for low impedance environments due to the charge quantization on the metallic island between the junctions. An approach using circuit analysis is presented which allows to reduce the calculation of tunneling rates in multijunction circuits to those of a single junction in series with an effective capacitance. The range of validity of the socalled local rule and global rule rates is clarified. It is found that the tunneling rate tends towards the global rule rate as the number of junctions is increased. Some specific results are given for a one-dimensional array of tunnel junctions.     

Ramo-Shockley relation for a series <Emphasis Type="Italic">RCL</Emphasis> circuit

The current induced by the passage of an external point charge through a plane vacuum capacitor in an RCL circuit free of current (voltage) sources is calculated. The case is also analyzed when an internal point charge is emitted by one of the capacitor plates, moves to the other plate, and is absorbed by it. A technique is proposed to measure the internal charge and its velocity component perpendicular to the capacitor plates in a passive RCL circuit.
