A small tuneable quantum ring with less than ten electrons was shown to exhibit Aharonov-Bohm oscillations as well as Coulomb blockade. At strong coupling to the leads, evidence of a Kondo effect induced by a single spin ...

Single electron tunneling is studied in a many electron quantum dot in high magnetic fields. For such a system multiple transitions of the spin configuration are theoretically predicted. With a combination of spin blockade ...

We study the magnetoconductance of lateral quantum dots in high magnetic fields. We use spin blockade and Kondo effect to investigate the spin configuration and the spin filling mechanism and find a dependence on the ...
