We investigate a silicon single-electron transistor (SET) in a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure by applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the sample surface. The quantum dot is defined electrostatically in a point contact channel and by the potential barriers from negatively charged interface traps. The magnetic field dependence of the excitation spectrum is primarily driven by the Zeeman effect. In the two-electron singlet-triplet (ST) transition, electron-electron Coulomb interaction plays a significant role. The evolution of Coulomb blockade peaks with magnetic field B is also owing to the Zeeman splitting with no obvious orbital effect up to 9 T. The filling pattern shows an alternate spin-up-spin-down sequence. The amplitude spectroscopy allows for the observation of the spin blockade effect, where the two-electron system forms a singlet state at low fields, and the spin polarized injection from the lead reduces the tunneling conductance by a factor of 8. At a higher magnetic field, due to the ST transition, the spin blockade effect is lifted and the conductance is fully recovered.

We investigate a hybrid structure consisting of $20pm4$ implanted $^{31}$P atoms close to a gate-induced silicon single electron transistor (SiSET). In this configuration, the SiSET is extremely sensitive to the charge state of the nearby centers, tu
rning from the off state to the conducting state when the charge configuration is changed. We present a method to measure fast electron tunnel rates between donors and the SiSET island, using a pulsed voltage scheme and low-bandwidth current detection. The experimental findings are quantitatively discussed using a rate equation model, enabling the extraction of the capture and emission rates.
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization at millikelvin temperatures of a novel silicon single-electron transistor (Si-SET). The island and source-drain leads of the Si-SET are formed by the implantation of phosphorus ions to a de
nsity above the metal-insulator-transition, with the tunnel junctions created by undoped regions. Surface gates above each of the tunnel junctions independently control the tunnel coupling between the Si-SET island and leads. The device shows periodic Coulomb blockade with a charging energy e$^2$/2C$_Sigma$ $sim$ 250 $mu$eV, and demonstrates a reproducible and controllable pathway to a silicon-based SET using CMOS processing techniques.
We report a successful measurement of the magnetic field-induced spin singlet-triplet transition in silicon-based coupled dot systems. Our specific experimental scheme incorporates a lateral gate-controlled Coulomb-blockaded structure in Si to meet t
he proposed scheme of Loss and DiVincenzo [1], and a non-equilibrium single-electron tunneling technique to probe the fine energy splitting between the spin singlet and triplet, which varies as a function of applying magnetic fields and interdot coupling constant. Our results, exhibiting the singlet-triplet crossing at a magnetic field for various interdot coupling constants, are in agreement with the theoretical predictions, and give the first experimental demonstration of the possible spin swapping occurring in the coupled double dot systems with magnetic field. *Electronic address: [email protected] [1] D.

We have fabricated and measured superconducting single-electron transistors with Al leads and Nb islands. At bias voltages below the gap of Nb we observe clear signatures of resonant tunneling of Cooper pairs, and of Coulomb blockade of the subgap cu
rrents due to linewidth broadening of the energy levels in the superconducting density of states of Nb. The experimental results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
We examine a silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) for cryogenic pre-amplification of a single electron transistor (SET). The SET current modulates the base current of the HBT directly. The HBT-SET circuit is immersed in liquid he
lium, and its frequency response from low frequency to several MHz is measured. The current gain and the noise spectrum with the HBT result in a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) that is a factor of 10-100 larger than without the HBT at lower frequencies. The transition frequency defined by SNR = 1 has been extended by as much as a factor of 10 compared to without the HBT amplification. The power dissipated by the HBT cryogenic pre-amplifier is approximately 5 nW to 5 {mu}W for the investigated range of operation. The circuit is also operated in a single electron charge read-out configuration in the time-domain as a proof-of-principle demonstration of the amplification approach for single spin read-out.
