In this report, density of states oscillations are actually observed in the conductance on sweeping gate voltage, but the basic principle is similar to the magnetoprobing effect discussed here.

21. The interpretation of Ref. 19 has been disputed in a more recent study, in which the zero-field peak has been argued to reflect the influence of energy averaging on the level spectrum of the dot. [R. Akis, D. Vasileska, D. K. Ferry, and J. P. Bird, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 11, 4657 (1999);

34. We have also performed simulations for an effective temperature of 0.2 K and find that this does not significantly modify the results presented here. In this regard, it appears that the order of magnitude, rather than the absolute value, of the effective temperature is crucial to reproducing the behavior found in experiment.
