摘要:

我们报道了量子点接触(QPC)的微分电导中的零偏压峰,该峰在外部磁场中分裂。在显著低于$2e^2/h$开始的器件电导值范围内观察到峰值。观察到的分裂密切匹配的塞曼能量,并显示出对栅极电压的依赖性很小,这表明负责形成的峰值的机制涉及电子自旋。精确的塞曼能量数据的实验是从一个单独的图案化的单电子晶体管位于距离QPC很短的距离。QPC器件有四个栅极,其排列方式允许纵向电势的调谐,并且在含有2维电子气的GaAs/AlGaAs异质结构中制造。我们发现,峰值分裂和塞曼能量之间的协议是强大的QPC潜力的适度扭曲。我们还表明,导致形成的ZBP的机制是不同于传统的近藤效应中发现的量子点。

英文摘要:

We report a zero-bias peak in the differential conductance of a Quantum Point Contact (QPC), which splits in an external magnetic field. The peak is observed over a range of device conductance values starting significantly below $2e^2/h$. The observed splitting closely matches the Zeeman energy and shows very little dependence on gate voltage, suggesting that the mechanism responsible for the formation of the peak involves electron spin. Precision Zeeman energy data for the experiment are obtained from a separately patterned single-electron transistor located a short distance away from the QPC. The QPC device has four gates arranged in a way that permits tuning of the longitudinal potential, and is fabricated in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure containing 2-dimenional electron gas. We show that the agreement between the peak splitting and the Zeeman energy is robust with respect to moderate distortions of the QPC potential. We also show that the mechanism that leads to the formation of the ZBP is different from the conventional Kondo effect found in quantum dots.
