Epitaxial control creates small quantum dots in InAs nanowires, indicating unique electric properties.

The aim is to explore the creation and characteristics of strongly confined quantum dots within InAs nanowires.
Epitaxial growth of wurtzite tunnel barriers in nanowires
Chemical wet etching to reduce nanowire cross-section
Low-temperature electrical characterization of quantum dots
Finite element method simulations to analyze charging energies
Observed charging energy exceeds 30 meV
Identified a regime where stray capacitances affect charging energy
Noted that further diameter reduction limits charging energy increase
Analyzed the relationship between electron filling onset and quantum dot diameter

Aspegren et al. (2026) studied this question.
