For ?r ? 5, T = 300 K, this occurs at a ? 10 nm Coulomb blockade: one electron located on a QD creates an energy barrier to stop the further transfer of electrons onto the QD Classical effect in transport through nanoparticles: Coulomb blockade Furthermore, the charging energy can stop any electron jumping on a QD Electrostatic energy stored in this capacitor is: CQE 2 2?Capacitance for observing Coulomb blockade at RT: C ~ 3 1018 F Spherical QD of radius a at a distance l (a) above a ground plane, the capacitance of this system: 04 (1 )2raCa l? ? ?? ? ?For typical semiconductors, ?r ~ 10, a ~ nm at RT Energy diagram of a doublejunction QD structure with Coulomb blockade In equilibrium Under an applied bias Experimental (A) and theoretical (B and C) IV curves of a STM tip/10nm In island/AlOx film/Al substrate When e/2C Va 3e/2C, maximum occupation number of QD is n = 1 ? one electron at a time jump through QD ? current is nearly a constant Single electron transistor (SET) Third electrode gate to adjust QD potential independently Another version of SET VG = V0 + V1 cos(2?ft) I = ef, SET can be used as a current standard Application example of SET: 參考文獻 1.
