(promotor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft Date 2010-07-02 Abstract We experimentally investigate Quantum Dots, formed in Carbon Nanotubes. The first part of this thesis deals with charge sensing on such quantum dots. The charge sensor is a metallic Single-electron-transistor, sensitive to the charge of a single electron on the quantum dot. We use this technique for real-time charge readout and precise tuning of the tunnel barriers of the quantum dot. The second part of this thesis describes the realization of exceptionally clean Carbon Nanotube quantum dots. We create few-electon single, double and triple quantum dots. In a few electron double quantum dot, we observe an effect which is analogous to Klein tunneling in relativistic quantum mechanics.
