The local hole density along the nanowire is controlled by applying voltages to five top gate electrodes with a periodicity of 80 nm, insulated from the wire by a 20 nm-thick HfO_2 dielectric film. Low-temperature transport measurements were used to investigate the magnetic field dependence of Coulomb blockade peaks in a single quantum dot and indicate a strongly anisotropic g-factor with |g_para| = 0.60 +/- 0.03 and |g_perp| < 0.12.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-06-19T23:06:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hole quantum dots", "strong g-factor anisotropy", "ge/si nanowires", "undoped ge/si core-shell nanowire heterostructures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.2883R" } } }
