We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the lowest magnetic field level that can be detected with a given relative accuracy with a sensor based on a double-dot device fabricated in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas. The double dot consists of a cavity delimited by an input and an output constriction, with a potential barrier exactly in the middle. In conditions of perfect symmetry, a strong conductance enhancement effect appears as a consequence of the constructive interference between symmetric trajectories. When the symmetry is broken, for example by the presence of an applied magnetic field, this enhancement effect is suppressed. We explore the design parameter space and assess the minimum magnetic field value that can be measured with a given accuracy in the presence of flicker noise. |
