The tunnel rates show exponential dependence on drain-source bias and plunger gate voltages. The tunneling process is shown to be elastic, and a model describing tunneling in terms of the dot energy relative to the height of the tunnel barrier quantitatively describes the measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-10-25T14:37:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dot", "energy dependent tunneling", "quantum point contact charge sensor", "plunger gate voltages", "measurements" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
