Fig. 5: Simulation of the electronic density in the device in three electronic configurations totalling 15 electrons.
From: Non-symmetric Pauli spin blockade in a silicon double quantum dot

The orange isosurfaces enclose 90% of the electrons. The red regions indicate the silicon nanowire and elevated source and drain regions. The asymmetrically-placed split gates are represented in gray. Both the gate oxide and the Si3N4 spacers have been omitted for clarity. a, b, c Show the (5,10), (6,9), and (7,8) charge configurations, respectively.
