Electrons traverse two-dimensional nanocrystal arrays by sequential tunneling between
neighboring nanoctystals. Analysis of array conductance at zero bias-voltage gives information
about underlying nanoctystal uniformity, as well as the relevant single-electron charging energy.
We discuss low-temperature measurements of two-dimensional self-assembled superlattices
composed of 10 nanometer diameter cobalt nanocrystals, with -2 mn inter-nanocrystal spacing.
