Coulomb Staircase

Tunneling studies between a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)-controlled fine NbN tip and a NbN thin film show single electron tunneling characteristics at room temperature. The I-V curves display the Coulomb blockade and the Coulomb staircase caused by single electron charging of a series combination of two tunnel junctions. These room temperature observations indicate that it may be possible to operate single-electron-based devices in non-cryogenic regimes.

Conductance Spectrum

We study the conductance spectrum of graphene quantum dots, both single- and multiple-dot cases. The single electron tunneling through a graphene dot is investigated and the periodicity, amplitude and line shape of the Coulomb blockade oscillations at low temperatures are obtained, which are consistent with the recent experimental observations. Further, we discuss the transport behavior when multiple dots are assembled in array and find a phase transition of conductance spectra from individual Coulomb blockade to collective Coulomb blockade.
