Abstract
The electronic properties of a corrugated one-dimensional (1D) channel, forming an open-quantum-dot superlattice, are studied. The miniband dispersion is calculated and the transmission probability through the channel is analyzed as a function of the number of dots. Two further features are predicted in addition to the existence of superlattice gaps originating from the periodicity: the tunneling through the quantum-dot state before the first 1D channel is available for transmission and the quantum-dot gaps.Keywords
