Single-electron double quantum dots in bilayer graphene


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present transport measurements through an electrostatically defined bilayer graphene double quantum dot in the single electron regime. With the help of a back gate, two split gates and two finger gates we are able to control the number of charge carriers on two gate-defined quantum dot independently between zero and five. The high tunability of the device meets requirements to make such a device a suitable building block for spin-qubits. In the single electron regime, we determine interdot tunnel rates on the order of 2~GHz. Both, the interdot tunnel coupling, as well as the capacitive interdot coupling increase with dot occupation, leading to the transition to a single quantum dot. Finite bias magneto-spectroscopy measurements allow to resolve the excited state spectra of the first electrons in the double quantum dot; being in agreement with spin and valley conserving interdot tunneling processes.
