摘要
When quantum dots are embedded into a semiconductor capacitor structure the capacitance of the system exhibits peaks. We present a calculation of the peak splittings which takes into account the intra-dot Coulomb repulsion, which leads to a Coulomb blockade of the dot occupation, as well as the capacitor feed-back to the filling of the dots. A satisfactory comparison with the recent experimental findings (InAs dots in a GaAs capacitor) is obtained. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
