Single-particle tunneling in semiconductor quantum dots
Single-particle tunneling in semiconductor quantum dots is a scholarly work, published in 2001 in ''Physical Review B''. The main subjects of the publication include quantum dot, quantum point contact, quantum tunneling, nanocrystal, physics, electron, charge, spectroscopy, quantum dot laser, Scanning tunneling spectroscopy, conductance, semiconductor, and condensed matter physics. The authors present a calculation of single-charge tunneling in a semiconductor quantum dot based on a full self-consistent tight-binding calculation of the charging energies, applicable to quantum dots of realistic size (up to 8 nm diameter).
