Acoustoelectric current transport through a double quantum dot — •Jens Ebbecke1, Nick Fletcher2, and JT Janssen2 — 1Lehrstuhl für Experimentalphysik I, Universität Augsburg, Universitätsstr. 1, 86159 Augsburg — 2National Physical Laboratory, Queens Road, Teddington TW11 0LW, United Kingdom
We present acoustoelectric current measurements through a double quantum dot. Due to background impurity potential fluctuations an unintentional quantum dot is situated next to an intentionally induced single dot. By changing the top gate voltages, each of the two dots alone can be addressed separately but also a situation can be realized where both dots are coupled and form a double quantum dot system. In the regime that is dominated by the conduction through the intentional quantum dot quantized charge transport has been realized mediated by surface acoustic waves. Based on the measurements on this device we propose a mechanism for a parallel double quantum dot turnstile that can be used as a spin entangler.
