Popis: The Fano effect is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising from interference between a discrete energy state and an energy continuum. We explore this effect in an artificial molecule, namely, two lateral quantum dots (QDs) fabricated from a two-dimensional electron gas system and coupled in series. When the coupling between the leads and QDs is small, the charge stability diagram of the system shows a honeycomb lattice structure that is characteristic of a double QD system. As the coupling increases, a honeycomb structure consisting of the Fano resonances emerges. A numerical simulation based on the T-matrix method can satisfactorily reproduce our experimental observation. This report constitutes a clear example of the ubiquitous nature of the Fano effect in mesoscopic transport.
