Scanning G<strong>at</strong>e Microscopy of Quantum Dots:Fabry-Perrot Interferences and Thermally Induced P<strong>at</strong>tern of RingsAndrii Kleshchonok, Geneviève Fleury, Jean-Louis PichardService de Physique de l'Et<strong>at</strong> Condensé (CNRS URA 2464),IRAMIS/SPEC, CEA Saclay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, FranceThermally induced rings can be seen in addition to Fabry-Perrot interference fringes spaced by half theFermi wavelength when one studies the conductance of the interferometer formed in a two dimensionalelectron gas (2DEG) between a nanostructured quantum contact and the charged tip of a scanning g<strong>at</strong>emicroscope. If the contact is made of a quantum dot with odd number of electrons opened in the middleof a Kondo valley, we show how the loc<strong>at</strong>ion of the rings allows to measure by electron interferometrythe magnetic moment of the dot above the Kondo temper<strong>at</strong>ure.
