The fabricated samples exhibited clear Coulomb blockade effects. Furthermore, a clear Kondo effect was observed when strong coupling between the electrodes and the QDs was realized using a large QD with a diameter of ~ 100 nm. From the temperature dependence of the linear conductance at the Kondo valley, the Kondo temperature TK was determined to be ~ 81 K. This is the highest TK ever reported for artificial quantum nanostructures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-08-19T06:09:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.40.Ns", "73.23.Hk", "72.15.Qm", "73.63.Kv" ], "keywords": [ "self-assembled inas quantum dots", "high kondo temperature", "nanogap electrodes", "single electron tunneling structures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Aug", "volume": 93, "number": 6, "pages": "062101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008ApPhL..93f2101S" } } }
