β¦ Synopsis
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 and the amplitude of the fluctuations. Phase breaking times obtained by these distinct approaches are found to differ from each other by a factor of six.

Magnetic characterization of a quantum dot array was carried out to extract the phasebreaking time as a function of temperature and current. These measurements indicate a saturation of the phase-breaking time at low temperature and low current. The phase-breaking time varies as 1/T for temperatures
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
Photoluminescence, capacitance-voltage and transmission electron microscopy studies have been carried out on structures containing a sheet of a self-assembled InAs quantum dots formed in GaAs matrices after the deposition of a 1.7 ML of InAs at 480 β’ C. The use of n-and p-type GaAs matrices allows u
