Abstract

Description

We show that tunneling through quantum dots can be completely dominated by states quantized on stable bouncing-ball orbits. The fingerprints of bouncing-ball tunneling are sequences of Coulomb blockade peaks with strongly correlated peak height and asymmetric peak line shape. Our results are in agreement with the striking correlations of peak height and transmission phase found in recent interference experiments with quantum dots.
