The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

The quantum dynamics of tunnel junctions with very small capacitance, such that k BT< e
2/2C, is investigated. We derive the quantum mechanical description from the microscopic …

The goal of this paper is to review in brief the basic physics of single-election devices, as
well as their-current and prospective applications. These devices based on the controllable …

In an electric field, the flow of electrons in a solid produces an entropy current in addition to
the familiar charge current. This is the Peltier effect, and it underlies all thermoelectric …

We have designed and operated a device consisting of three nanoscale tunnel junctions
biased below the Coulomb gap. Phase shifted rf voltages of frequency f applied to two …

The current-voltage characteristic of an ultrasmall tunnel junction is calculated for arbitrary
frequency dependence of the impedance presented to the junction by its electromagnetic …

Nanostructures in which strong (Coulomb) interactions exist between electrons are
predicted to exhibit temporal electronic correlations. Although there is ample experimental …

We have fabricated an array of ultrasmall tunnel junctions which acts like a turnstile for
single electrons. When alternating voltage of frequency f is applied to a gate, one electron is …

Quantum-mechanical interference between indistinguishable quantum particles profoundly
affects their arrival time and counting statistics. Photons from a thermal source tend to arrive …

A finite charging energy, e 2/2 C′, is required in order to place a single electron onto a
small isolated electrode lying between two tunnel junctions and having a total capacitance …
