By counting single electron charging events on the dot, the tunneling process in a graphene constriction and the role of localized states are studied in detail. In the regime of low charge detector bias we see only a single time-dependent process in the tunneling rate which can be modeled using a Fermi-broadened energy distribution of the carriers in the lead. We find a non-monotonic gate dependence of the tunneling coupling attributed to the formation of localized states in the constriction. Increasing the detector bias above 2 mV results in an increase of the dot-lead transition rate related to back-action of the charge detector current on the dot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-02T09:29:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.80.Vp", "73.63.Kv", "73.50.Td", "73.23.Hk" ], "keywords": [ "graphene quantum dot", "time-resolved charge detection", "low charge detector bias", "counting single electron charging events", "dot-lead transition rate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2011, "month": "Apr", "volume": 83, "number": 16, "pages": 165445 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83p5445G" } } }
