摘要
We report the observation of a unique example of double-dot transport in a silicon-on-insulator nanowire transistor. The transport at low temperature showed typical characteristics of two parallel quantum dots, and anomalous secondary minima were also observed in the dI(D)/dV(DS) spectrum. Our transport data, including these secondary minima, were consistent with two parallel quantum dots, each formed at the front and at the back interface. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
