Based on the current-voltage characteristics of single colloidal QDs -InSb, -PbS, -HgSe, -CdSe quantum dots, on random samples statistically determined and investigated the mechanisms of barrier and ballistic tunneling, Coulomb confinement, quasi-periodic modulation of electron transport in the model of a deep extended potential well and depending on QDs size and de Broglie wavelength for the electron. The possibility of manifestation of Bloch oscillations has been experimentally confirmed. The parameters of all investigated processes were determined and tabulated. Keywords: Nanoparticle, quantum dot, dimensional quantization, quantum selection, barrier and ballistic tunneling, Coulomb confinement, Coulomb ladder, Bloch oscillations.
