Abstract

In the previous paper, we found a series expression for the average electric current following a quench in the nonequilibrium Kondo model driven by a bias voltage. Here, we evaluate the steady state current in the regimes of strong and weak coupling. We obtain the standard leading order results in the usual weak antiferromagnetic regime, and we also find a new universal regime of strong ferromagnetic coupling with Kondo temperature TK=De3π28ρJT_K = D e^{\frac{3\pi^2}{8} \rho J}. In this regime, the differential conductance dI/dVdI/dV reaches the unitarity limit 2e2/h2e^2/h asymptotically at large voltage or temperature.
