We study the magneto-conductance of a $1.4~mathrm{mu m}$-wide quantum dot in the fractional quantum Hall regime. For a filling factor $approx 2/3$ and $gtrsim 1/3$ in the quantum dot the observed Coulomb resonances show a periodic modulation in magnetic field. This indicates a non-trivial reconstruction of the 2/3 fractional quantum Hall state in the quantum dot. We present a model for the charge stability diagram of the system assuming two compressible regions separated by an incompressible stripe of filling factor $2/3$ and $1/3$, respectively. From the dependence of the magnetic field period on total magnetic field we construct the zero-field charge density distribution in the quantum dot. The tunneling between the two compressible regions exhibits fractional Coulomb blockade. For both filling factor regions, we extract a fractional charge $e^*/e = 0.32 pm 0.03$ by comparing to measurements at filling factor 2. With their close relation to quantum Hall Fabry-P{e}rot interferometers, our investigations on quantum dots in the fractional quantum Hall regime extend and complement interference experiments investigating the nature of anyonic fractional quantum Hall quasiparticles.

A magnet with precessing magnetization pumps a spin current into adjacent leads. As a special case of this spin pumping, a precessing macrospin (magnetization) can assist electrons in tunneling. In small systems, however, the Coulomb blockade effect can block the transport of electrons. Here, we investigate the competition between macrospin-assisted tunneling and Coulomb blockade for the simplest system where both effects meet; namely, for a single tunnel junction between a normal metal and a metallic ferromagnet with precessing magnetization. By combining Fermis golden rule with magnetization dynamics and charging effects, we show that the macrospin-assisted tunneling can soften or even break the Coulomb blockade. The details of these effects -- softening and breaking of Coulomb blockade -- depend on the macrospin dynamics. This allows, for example, to measure the macrospin dynamics via a systems current-voltage characteristics. It also allows to control a spin current electrically. From a general perspective, our results provide a platform for the interplay between spintronics and electronics on the mesoscopic scale. We expect our work to provide a basis for the study of Coulomb blockade in more complicated spintronic systems.
We present an explanation for the anomalous behavior in tunneling conductance and noise through a point contact between edge states in the Jain series $ u=p/(2np+1)$, for extremely weak-backscattering and low temperatures [Y.C. Chung, M. Heiblum, and V. Umansky, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf{91}}, 216804 (2003)]. We consider edge states with neutral modes propagating at finite velocity, and we show that the activation of their dynamics causes the unexpected change in the temperature power-law of the conductance. Even more importantly, we demonstrate that multiple-quasiparticles tunneling at low energies becomes the most relevant process. This result will be used to explain the experimental data on current noise where tunneling particles have a charge that can reach $p$ times the single quasiparticle charge. In this paper we analyze the conductance and the shot noise to substantiate quantitatively the proposed scenario.
We study charge transport through a floating mesoscopic superconductor coupled to counterpropagating fractional quantum Hall edges at filling fraction $ u=2/3$. We consider a superconducting island with finite charging energy and investigate its effe ct on transport through the device. We calculate conductance through such a system as a function of temperature and gate voltage applied to the superconducting island. We show that transport is strongly affected by the presence of parafermionic zero modes, leading at zero temperature to a zero-bias conductance quantized in units of $ u e^2/h$ independent of the applied gate voltage.

A tunable directional coupler based on Coulomb Blockade effect is presented. Two electron waveguides are coupled by a quantum dot to an injector waveguide. Electron confinement is obtained by surface Schottky gates on single GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunctio n. Magneto-electrical measurements down to 350 mK are presented and large transconductance oscillations are reported on both outputs up to 4.2 K. Experimental results are interpreted in terms of Coulomb Blockade effect and the relevance of the present design strategy for the implementation of an electronic multiplexer is underlined.

We consider a tunnel junction formed between a fixed electrode and an oscillating one. Accumulation of the charge on the junction capacitor induces a force on the nano-mechanical oscillator. The junction is voltage biased and connected in series with an impedance $Z(omega)$. We discuss how the picture of Coulomb blockade is modified by the presence of the oscillator. Quantum fluctuations of the mechanical oscillator modify the $I$-$V$ characteristics particularly in the strong Coulomb blockade limit. We show that the oscillator can be taken into account by a simple modification of the effective impedance of the circuit. We discuss in some details the case of a single inductance $Z(omega)=iLomega$ and of a constant resistance $Z(omega)=R$. With little modifications the theory applies also to incoherent transport in Josephson junctions in the tunneling limit.
