Abstract

Since very recently, quasi two-dimensional electron electron gases near semiconductor interfaces can be confined laterally by high-resolution lithography and planar technologies to typical diameters of 100 nm. Then we have quantum dots, i.e., few-electron systems with discrete energy spectra. The present state of experiments and their interpretation is described guided by our work on InSb.
