Charge induced on the SET central island from single electron additions to the dot modulates the SET output, and we describe two methods for demodulation that permit quantitative extraction of the quantum dot capacitance signal. The two methods produce closely similar results for the determined single electron capacitance peaks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1998-06-12T05:59:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single electron capacitance spectroscopy", "vertical quantum dot", "single electron capacitance peaks", "produce closely similar results", "aluminum single electron transistor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
