We report on non-linear magneto-tunneling experiments carried out in single GaAs vertical quantum dots. We show that conduction at low voltage bias can be a spectroscopic tool for both the ground state and first excited states of few electrons on the dot. Increasing voltage a large resonant peak is observed and attributed to tunneling across the quasi-continuum of higher excited states.
We study the level statistics of a non-integrable one dimensional interacting fermionic system characterized by the GOE distribution. We calculate numerically on a finite size system the level spacing distribution $P(s)$ and the Dyson-Mehta $Δ_3$ correlation. We observe that its low energy spectrum follows rather the Poisson distribution, characteristic of an integrable system, consistent with the fact that the low energy excitations of this system are described by the Luttinger model. We propose this Random Matrix Theory analysis as a probe for the existence and integrability of low energy effective Hamiltonians for strongly correlated systems.
