Non-equilibrium Kondo effect in asymmetrically coupled quantum dot

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-07 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

The quantum dot asymmetrically coupled to the external leads has been analysed theoretically by means of the equation of motion (EOM) technique and the non-crossing approximation (NCA). The system has been described by the single impurity Anderson model. To calculate the conductance across the device the non-equilibrium Green's function technique has been used. The obtained results show the importance of the asymmetry of the coupling for the appearance of the Kondo peak at nonzero voltages and qualitatively explain recent experiments.
