Quantum dots

What I want to do is building an aluminum quantum dot coupled to
aluminum leads to observe Coulomb Blockade. To form the tunnel barriers
we oxidize the Al in a plasma without any detailed knowledge of the
oxide we get. The idea is to later couple the dot to ferromagnetic leads
and investigate spin transport characteristics. I would love to see how
well my results will fit to a model using the NEFG.

    .. instead I would recommend a different approach
    .. please see Lecture#4 at
