摘要：

The 2D electron gas of a GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunction is confined to a small island by means of Schottky gates. Two gates provide adjustable tunnel barriers and a central gate controls the electron number of the island. Conductance oscillations, periodic with the electron number, are observed in the Coulomb blockade regime with negligible energy level spacing. At low temperature, the blockade of the conductance by the island is shown to be limited by the quantum process of co-tunneling.
