Spectroscopic Measurements of Discrete Electronic States in Single Metal Particles
Abstract
We have made tunnel junctions containing one Al particle of diameter $<10$ nm. Tunneling via discrete electronic states in the particle produces steps in the current-voltage ( $I$- $V$) curve, providing, for the first time, a spectroscopic measurement of the electronic energy levels in a metal particle. With superconducting leads, the $I$- $V$ contribution from each discrete state has the form of the BCS density of states. We can determine the parity of the electron number in the particle's ground state through the effects of an applied magnetic field on the $I$- $V$ curve.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
