✦ Synopsis

The states of two electrons in a semiconducting nanotube dot are computed by exact diagonalisation of a 2-band effective mass Hamiltonian and compared to the states obtained from a molecular model. The molecular model is found to be accurate for the ground and excited states in a wide range of nanotube dots with different physical properties and this demonstrates that the quantum states are Wigner molecule-like and the electrons are strongly correlated. The first 97 excited states are examined for a physically realistic dot in the strongly correlated regime and, for these states, the molecular model is accurate to within 4%.

We report, in this paper, the detailed measurements obtained from the double quantum dot silicon single electron transistors. Both the drain current and the differential conductance measurements in large drain voltage regime show small conductance peaks-as many as seven. The differential conductance
