Spatially Resolved Manipulation of Single Electrons in Quantum Dots Using a Scanned Probe

Spatially Resolved Manipulation of Single Electrons in Quantum Dots Using a Scanned Probe

The scanning metallic tip of a scanning force microscope was coupled capacitively to electrons confined in a lithographically defined gate-tunable quantum dot at a temperature of 300 mK. Single electrons were made to hop on or off the dot by moving the tip or by changing the tip bias voltage …
