Abstract

We study non-equilibrium current fluctuations through a quantum dot, which includes a ferromagnetic Hund's rule coupling JJ, in the low-energy Fermi liquid regime using the renormalized perturbation theory. The resulting cumulant for the current distribution in the particle-hole symmetric case, shows that spin-triplet and spin-singlet pairs of quasiparticles are formed in the current due to the Hund's rule coupling and these pairs enhance the current fluctuations. In the fully screened higher-spin Kondo limit, the Fano factor takes a value Fb=(9M+6)/(5M+4)F_b = (9M+6)/ (5M+4) determined by the orbital degeneracy MM. We also investigate crossover between the small and large JJ limits in the two-orbital case M=2, using the numerical renormalization group approach.
