Non-weak-localization signature in the average conductance of open quantum-dot arrays

The gate-voltage averaged conductance of open quantum-dot arrays is found to reveal the presence of a quantum correction that is quite inconsistent with the effects of weak localization. Our studies provide strong evidence for a greatly suppressed weak localization effect in these structures, which...

Summary:The gate-voltage averaged conductance of open quantum-dot arrays is found to reveal the presence of a quantum correction that is quite inconsistent with the effects of weak localization. Our studies provide strong evidence for a greatly suppressed weak localization effect in these structures, which finding appears to be consistent with the results of our previous numerical investigations of these structures.
