Signatures of Inelastic Scattering in Coulomb-Blockade Quantum Dots
Abstract
We calculate the finite-temperature conductance peak-height distributions in Coublomb-blockade quantum dots in the limit where the inelastic scattering rate in the dot is large compared with the mean elastic tunneling rate. The relative reduction of the standard deviation of the peak-height distribution by a time-reversal symmetry-breaking magnetic field, which is essentially temperature-independent in the elastic limit, is enhanced by the inclusion of inelastic scattering at finite temperature. We suggest this quantity as an independent experimental probe for inelastic scattering in closed dots.
