摘要
The authors have studied the transport properties of carbon nanotube quantum dots under terahertz (THz) wave irradiation. The experimental data have shown that the satellite currents are generated with the THz irradiation, and that the peak position of the satellite currents varies linearly with the THz photon energy. These results provide experimental evidence for photon-assisted tunneling in the THz region. The present observation provides the interesting possibility of developing a highly sensitive and frequency-tunable THz detector capable of high-temperature operation.
