Quantum dot in the pseudogap Kondo state
摘要
We investigate the transport properties of a (small) quantum dot connected to Fermi liquid leads with a power-law density of states (DOS). Such a system, if experimentally realizable, will have interesting physical properties including: (i) non-saturating Coulomb blockade peak widths; (ii) a non-unitary Kondo peak symmetrically placed between the Coulomb blockade peaks; (iii) an absence of conductance away from particle-hole symmetry at sufficiently low temperatures; and (iv) evidence of a quantum critical point as a function of dot-lead hopping. These properties are compared and contrasted with one dimensional Luttinger systems exhibiting a power-law "tunneling-DOS".
