Our device which is fabricated by local anodic oxidation allows to control independently the quantum point contact and all tunnelling barriers of the quantum dot. Thus we are able to measure both the change of the quantum dot charge and also changes of the electron configuration at constant number of electrons on the quantum dot. We use these features to exploit the quantum dot in a high magnetic field where transport through the quantum dot displays the effects of Landau shells and spin blockade. We confirm the internal rearrangement of electrons as function of the magnetic field for a fixed number of electrons on the quantum dot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-04-29T10:13:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high magnetic field", "non-invasive detection", "quantum point contact", "charge-rearrangement", "demonstrate electron redistribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
