Spin-valley resolved photon-assisted tunneling in carbon nanotube double quantum dots
arXiv:1702.08802 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.95.205305
Abstract
We consider the photon-assisted tunneling (PAT) and the Landau-Zener-Stueckelberg (LZS) interference for double quantum dots induced electrostatically along a semiconducting carbon nanotube. An atomistic tight-binding approach and the time-dependent configuration interaction method are employed for description of the systems of a few confined electrons and holes. We reproduce the patterns of the LZS interference recently observed for the quantum double dots describing transport across hole-localized states. Moreover, we indicate that for charge configurations for which the ground-state is Pauli blocked PAT can be used for resolution of the transitions that involve spin-flip or intervalley transitions without the spin-valley conserving background signal.
