摘要
We study the magnetic (B-) field evolution of single-particle levels in one dot by observing resonant tunnelling (RT) between two weakly coupled vertical quantum dots in series. The B-field dependence of the RT current peaks in the spectrum follows closely that of the states of a circular two dimensional harmonic potential. Several prominent two-level anti-crossing features are revealed. The RT current changes dramatically on passing through the anti-crossing point. This can be assigned to the nature of inter-dot RT though intra-dot level-mixed states. [GRAPHICS] (a) Schematic diagram of our device. (b) Measured anti-cross in the resonant current induced by intra-dot two level mixing. (c) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
