Gate voltage and magnetic field are tuned at the degeneracy point between the occupancies N=2 and N=3, close to the Singlet-Triplet transition for N=2. We find that the conductance is enhanced prior to the transition by nearby crossings of the levels of the 3 particle dot. Immediately after it is depressed by roughly 1/3, as long as the total spin S of the 3 electron ground state doesn't change from S=1/2 to S=3/2, due to spin selection rule. At low temperature this dip is very sharp, but the peak is recovered by increasing the temperature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-11-15T17:35:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "vertical quantum dot", "higher spin states", "sequential magnetotunneling", "magnetic field", "vertical parabolic quantum dot" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
