Continuous improvements to the current quantization in these electron pumps are revealed by high-resolution measurements. Simulations show that the sensitivity of tunnel rates to the barrier potential is enhanced, stabilizing particular charge states. Nonadiabatic excitations are also suppressed due to a reduced sensitivity of the Fock-Darwin states to electrostatic potential. The combination of these effects leads to significantly more accurate current quantization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-08-31T19:57:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Kv" ], "keywords": [ "high magnetic fields", "single-electron pumps", "stabilization", "accurate current quantization", "perpendicular magnetic fields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 86, "number": 15, "pages": 155311 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86o5311F" } } }
