Thermoelectric power due to coherent electron transmission through a quantum dot is theoretically studied. In addition to the known features related to resonant peaks, we show that a novel significant structure appears between the peaks.…

The question of how localized electrons interact with delocalized electrons is central to many problems at the forefront of solid state physics. The simplest example is the Kondo phenomenon, which occurs when an impurity atom with an…

Recent experiments have measured the signatures of the Kondo effect in the zero-field thermopower of strongly correlated quantum dots [Svilans {\em et al.,} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 121}, 206801 (2018); Dutta {\em et al.,} Nano Lett. {\bf 19},…

We study the Kondo effect in a model system of a quantum dot embedded in an Aharanov-Bohm ring connected to two leads. By transforming to the scattering basis of the direct inter-lead tunneling, we are able to describe precisely how the…

Quantum dots connected to larger systems containing a continuum of states like charge reservoirs allow the theoretical study of many-body effects such as the Coulomb blockade and the Kondo effect. Here, we analyze the nonequilibrium Kondo…

Tunneling conductance through two quantum dots, which are connected in series to left and right leads, is calculated by using the numerical renormalization group method. As the hopping between the dots increases from very small value, the…

Correlation effects on electron transport through a system of T-shaped double-dots are investigated, for which only one of the dots is directly connected to the leads. We evaluate the local density of states and the conductance by means of…

The time-dependent non-crossing approximation is employed for the single-electron transistor to calculate the transient response of the conductance for a variety of temperatures and biases. We consider the case when the dot-lead tunneling…

Considerable evidence exists for the failure of the traditional theory of quantum critical points (QCPs), pointing to the need to incorporate novel excitations. The destruction of Kondo entanglement and the concomitant critical Kondo effect…

Interference effects in quantum dots between different transport channels can lead to a strong suppression of conductance, which cuts like a canyon through the common conductance plot [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 186804 (2010)]. In the present…
