REVIEW Semiconductor devices generally take advantage of the charge of electrons,
whereas magnetic materials are used for recording information involving electron spin. To …

The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

Semiconductor electronics is commonplace in every household. Semiconductor devices
have enabled economically reasonable fiber-based optical communication, optical storage …

The goal of this paper is to review in brief the basic physics of single-election devices, as
well as their-current and prospective applications. These devices based on the controllable …

We consider a quantum-gate mechanism based on electron spins in coupled semiconductor
quantum dots. Such gates provide a general source of spin entanglement and can be used …

We review some electron transport experiments on few-electron, vertical quantum dot
devices. The measurement of current versus source-drain voltage and gate voltage is used …

Systems consisting of few interacting fermions are the building blocks of matter, with atoms
and nuclei being the most prominent examples. We have created a few-body quantum …

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

We observe spin blockade due to Pauli exclusion in the tunneling characteristics of a
coupled quantum dot system when two same-spin electrons occupy the lowest energy state …
