Abstract :
Small Si single-electron transistors (SETs) show interesting nature due to their complicated energy-level structure. We evaluate Coulomb diamonds and excited states of dual-gate SETs by changing an electric field in the SET island. Even though the number of electron in the SET island is constant, the electric field applied by the dual gates remarkably changes the electron addition energies. In addition, interesting variation of excited states due to the electric field are also observed.
