Photon-assisted-tunneling in a coupled double quantum dot out of thermal equilibrium (1308.3747v1)
Published 17 Aug 2013 in cond-mat.mes-hall and quant-ph
Abstract: We perform photon-assisted-tunneling (PAT) experiments on a GaAs double quantum dot device under high microwave excitation power. Photon-assisted absorption of up to 14 photons is observed, when electron temperature (>1K) are far above the lattice temperature. Signatures of Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg (LZS) interference are found even in this non-equilibrium PAT spectrum. In addition, the charge state relaxation time T_1~8ns measured in this out of thermal equilibrium double quantum dot is in agreement with other previous reports.
