Description:

(abstract)

We measured the spectrum of a single-carrier bilayer graphene quantum dot as a function of both parallel and perpendicular magnetic field, using a time-resolved charge detection technique that gives access to individual tunnel events. Thanks to our unprecedented resolution of 4 μeV, we could distinguish all four of the dot’s energy levels, in particular in the range of magnetic field where the first and second excited states cross (B⊥ <∼ 100 mT). We thereby experimentally establish the, hitherto simply extrapolated, single-charge carrier spectrum picture and provide a new upper bound for the inter-valley mixing, equal to our energy resolution.
