Finite bias spectroscopy of a three-terminal graphene quantum dot in the multi-level regime
arXiv:1405.1393 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.89.165413
Abstract
Finite bias spectroscopy measurements of a three-terminal graphene quantum dot are presented. Numerous lines of enhanced differential conductance are observed outside the Coulomb diamonds. In the single-level transport regime such lines are often associated with transport through excited states. Here the system is in the multi-level transport regime. We argue that the lines are most likely a result of strong coupling to only a few of the excited states available in the bias window. We also discuss the option that fluctuations of the density of states in the leads are fully or partly responsible for the appearance of the lines. Such a detailed analysis requires the presence of three leads to the dot.
