摘要
We investigate background charge fluctuation in a GaAs quantum dot device by measuring 1/f noise in the single-electron tunneling current through the dot. The current noise is understood as fluctuations of the confinement potential and tunneling barriers. The estimated potential fluctuation increases almost linearly with temperature, which is consistent with a simple model of the 1/f noise. We find that the fluctuation increases very slightly when electrons are injected into excited states of the quantum dot. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
