β¦ Synopsis
Lateral transport through a quantum dot confined under the tip of a gate finger has been investigated. The observed conductance resonances originating from a small number of electrons in the quantum dot have been analysed in dependence of the applied magnetic field and temperature. Pairs of conductance resonances show a similar behaviour which is understood in the one-particle picture due to the spin-degeneracy of the dot states.

We have observed conductance fluctuations due to electron interference in a split-gate quantum dot, fabricated in the two-dimensional electron gas of a GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As heterojunction. We have determined the phase breaking time of electrons by two independent analyses, using the correlation field
We study the effect of electron-electron interactions between several electrons in a quantum dot with a tapered constriction by monitoring the behavior of the position of the absolute charge density maximum, Z max , of each occupied state under DC electric fields. States of this system are localized
