Fig. 18. Current through the double quantum dot in the few-electron regime.<br />

(a) IDOT (in logarithmic grayscale) versusVL and VPR in the same region as shown<br />

in Fig. 17b, with VDOT = 100 µV andVSD1 = VSD2 =0.Dott<strong>ed</strong> lines are extract<strong>ed</strong><br />

from Fig. 17b. Dark gray indicates a current flowing, with the darkest regions (in<br />

the bot<strong>to</strong>m left corner) corresponding <strong>to</strong> ∼100 pA. In the light gray regions current<br />

is zero due <strong>to</strong> Coulomb blockade. Inside the dash<strong>ed</strong> square, the last triple points<br />

are faintly visible (∼1 pA). (A smoothly varying background current due <strong>to</strong> a small<br />

leakage current from a gate <strong>to</strong> the 2DEG has been subtract<strong>ed</strong> from all traces.)<br />

(b) Close-up of the region inside the dash<strong>ed</strong> square in (a), showing the last two<br />

triple points before the double dot is completely empty. The current at these triple<br />

points is very small (
