We find that, for finite valley-orbit coupling, the tunneling times involved in shuttling the electron between the donor and the interface oscillate with the interface/donor distance in much the same way as the exchange coupling oscillates with the interdonor distance. These oscillations disappear when the ground state at the interface is degenerate (corresponding to zero valley-orbit coupling).}, keywords = {2008, Single Fellow}, issn = {1098-0121}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/0712.1823}, author = {Calder{\'o}n, M.J. and Koiller, Belita and S.
