The Kondo effect arises from many-body interactions between localized magnetic impurities and conduction electrons, affecting electronic properties at low temperatures. In this study, we investigate the Kondo effect within a two-dimensional…
We describe novel excitons in quantum dots by allowing for an interaction with a Fermi sea of electrons. We argue that these excitons can be realized very simply with self-assembled quantum dots, using the wetting layer as host for the…

We study the Kondo screening effect generated by a single-electron transistor or quantum dot embedded in a small metallic ring. When the ring circumference $L$ becomes comparable to the fundamental length scale $\xi_K^0=\hbar \upsilon…
We report Kondo-like behaviour in a quantum antidot (a submicron depleted region in a two-dimensional electron gas) in the quantum-Hall regime. When both spin branches of the lowest Landau level encircle the antidot in a magnetic field…
We study the spin-valley Kondo effect of a silicon quantum dot occupied by $% \mathcal{N}$ electrons, with $\mathcal{N}$ up to four. We show that the Kondo resonance appears in the $\mathcal{N}=1,2,3$ Coulomb blockade regimes, but not in…
Anderson impurity model for semiconductor quantum dot is extended to take into account both particle and hole branches of charge excitations. It is shown that in dots with even number of electrons where the Kondo effect is absent in the…
We present transport measurements of the Kondo effect in a double quantum dot charged with only one or two electrons, respectively. For the one electron case we observe a surprising quasi-periodic oscillation of the Kondo conductance as a…
Transport measurements at cryogenic temperatures through a few electron top gated quantum dot fabricated in a silicon/silicon-germanium heterostructure are reported. Variations in gate voltage induce a transition from an isolated dot toward…

The Kondo effect is a key many-body phenomenon in condensed matter physics. It concerns the interaction between a localised spin and free electrons. Discovered in metals containing small amounts of magnetic impurities, it is now a…
