Coulomb blockade phenomena observed in supported metallic nanoislands
The electron transport properties of single crystalline metallic nanostructures in the Coulomb blockade regime have been investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. To this end, nanoscale flat-top Pb islands with well-defined geometries are grown on NaCl-covered Ag(111) substrat...
