β¦ Synopsis
Elastic and inelastic tunneling between zero-dimensional states are studied for a laterally coupled two dot device and for a vertically coupled two dot device. The resonance current observed in both devices consists of a symmetric peak of elastic tunneling and an asymmetric broad peak of inelastic tunneling The elastic peak width compares to the energy of tunnel coupling. The inelastic current is related to acoustic phonon emission from detailed study on the temperature dependence.

We describe photon assisted tunneling (PAT) in single and coupled quantum dot systems which have a relatively large zero-dimensional (0D) level separation. A microwave electric field applied across the tunneling barrier leads to the formation of a sideband structure. For a single quantum dot system,
Electron energy levels in single dots, and energy splitting and tunneling times in stacked quantum dots are calculated as functions of structure parameters. An effective mass approach is used to solve the SchrΓΆdinger equation for cylindrical dots with finite confinement potentials. Strong confinemen
