Ballistic electron spectroscopy

Abstract
We demonstrate the feasibility of ballistic electron spectroscopy as a new tool for mesoscopic physics. A quantum dot is utilised as an energy-selective detector of non-equilibrium ballistic electrons injected into a two-dimensional electron system. In this paper we use a second quantum dot as the electron injector to evaluate the scheme. We propose an application in the study of interacting 1D and 0D systems.
