Randomly Fluctuating Potential Controlled Multistable Resonant Tunneling
Current through a Quantum Dot
   [PDF]

Pei Wang, Gao Xianlong, Shaojun Xu
We study the transport through a quantum dot subject to a randomly fluctuating potential, generated by a sequence of pulses in the gate voltage with the help of the autoregressive model. We find that the tunneling current is multistable when the fluctuating potential with a finite correlation time is applied before the non-equilibrium steady state is built up. The non-equilibrium stationary current is heavily dependent on the history of the fluctuating potential during the transient period if the potential has a finite correlation time. Furthermore, the averaged current over the path of the fluctuating potential is a function of its strength and correlation time. Our work therefore provides a robust theoretical proposal for the controlling of the non-equilibrium stationary current through a quantum dot in a randomly fluctuating potential.
