Non-equilibrium transport through a model quantum dot: Hartree-Fock approximation and beyond

Abstract

The finite-temperature transport properties of the spinless interacting fermion model coupled to non-interacting leads are investigated. Employing the unrestricted time-dependent Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, the transmission probability and the non-linear II-VV characteristics are calculated, and compared with available analytical results and with numerical data obtained from a Hubbard-Stratonovich decoupling of the interaction. In the weak interaction regime, the HF approximation reproduces the gross features of the exact II-VV characteristics but fails to account for subtle properties like the particular power law for the reflected current in the interacting resonant level model.
