摘要: Semiconductor-based single-electron transistors have been fabricated using heterostructure nanowire growth, by introducing a double barrier of InP into InAs nanowires. From electrical measurements, we observe charging energy 4 meV for the approximately 55 nm diameter and 100 long islands between barriers. The Coulomb blockade can be periodically lifted as function gate voltage all devices, which is typical signature single-island transistors. Homogeneous nanowires show no such effect corresponding ranges.
