    Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts

    Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences by Tai-Min Liu M. S. National Chung Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan B. S. National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan July 2011 Committee Chair: Andrei Kogan, Ph.D. Abstract We report several detailed experiments on electron transport through Quantum Point Contacts (QPCs) and lateral Quantum Dots (QDs), created in a Single-Electron Transistor (SET). In the experiment for QPCs, we present a zero-bias peak (ZBP) in the differential conductance, G, which splits in an external magnetic field. The observed splitting closely matches the Zeeman energy and shows very little dependence on gate voltage, suggesting that the mechanism responsible for the formation of the peak involves electron spin. We also show that the mechanism that leads to the formation of the ZBP is different from the conventional Kondo effect found in QDs. [1] In the second experiment, we present transport measurements of a QD in a spin-flip cotunneling regime and a quantitative comparison of the data to the microscopic theory by Lehman and Loss. The differential conductance is measured in the presence of an in-plane Zeeman field. We focus on the ratio of the nonlinear G at bias voltages exceeding the Zeeman threshold to G for those below the threshold. The data show good quantitative agreement with the theory with no adjustable parameters.

    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably. No longer a casual game reserved for the country club elite, baseball had become a rough and rowdy sport of the working class, where beer and cigars were seemingly required equipment, and ardent rivalries among local and regional teams were Kalamazoo College Men's Baseball Team, c.1896 Kalamazoo College CACHE: College Academic and Historical Experience commonplace. It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators.
