The quest for quantum ground states beyond the conventional Fermi-liquid paradigm remains a central challenge in many-body physics. The ferromagnetic Kondo effect represents a particularly intriguing case: an exotic variant of the Kondo…

I consider the effect of the finite width of the resonant level on its thermodynamics and tunneling transport properties in the single electron charging regime. The finite width of the levels results from their delocalization with formation…

We compute the zero bias conductance of electrons through a single ballistic channel weakly coupled to a side quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. In contrast to the standard setup which is designed to measure the transport through the…

We investigate the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium Kondo effects in a single-level interacting quantum dot connected to two ferromagnetic leads. Within the non-crossing approximation, we calculate the total density of states (DOS), the…

In a recent Letter, Luo et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 256602 (2004)) analyze the Fano line shapes obtained from scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) of transition metal impurities on a simple metal surface, in particular of the Ti/Au(111)…

We analyze the equilibrium transport properties of underscreened Kondo effect in the case of a two-level quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads. Using the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method, we have determined the gate voltage…

The physics of a junction composed of a normal metal, quantum dot and 2D topological insulator (in a quantum spin Hall state) is elucidated. It maifests a subtle combination of Kondo correlations and quantum spin Hall edge states moving on…

We examine the properties of a dc-biased quantum dot in the Coulomb blockade regime. For voltages V large compared to the Kondo temperature T_K, the physics is governed by the scales V and gamma, where gamma ~ V/ln^2(V/T_K) is the…

We study the interplay of the Kondo effect and spin-polarized tunneling in a class of systems exhibiting uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, such as magnetic molecules, magnetic adatoms, or quantum dots coupled to a single localized magnetic…

Molecular electronics offers unique scientific and technological possibilities, resulting from both the nanometre scale of the devices and their reproducible chemical complexity. Two fundamental yet different effects, with no classical…

Single Co atoms, which exhibit a Kondo effect on Cu(111), are contacted with Cu and Fe tips in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. With Fe tips, the Kondo effect persists with the Abrikosov-Suhl resonance significantly…

We present lateral transport measurements on strongly, vertically coupled quantum dots formed in separate quantum wells in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Coulomb oscillations are observed forming a honeycomb lattice consistent with two…

We study the non-equilibrium regime of the Kondo effect in a quantum dot laterally coupled to a narrow wire. We observe a split Kondo resonance when a finite bias voltage is imposed across the wire. The splitting is attributed to the…

We consider electronic transport through break-junctions bridged by a single molecule in the Kondo regime. We describe the system by a two-channel Anderson model. We take the tunneling matrix elements to depend on the position of the…

A many-body resonance emerges at the Fermi energy when an electron bath screens the magnetic moment of a half-filled impurity level. This Kondo effect, originally introduced to explain the abnormal resistivity behavior in bulk magnetic…

We theoretically examine the transport through an Aharonov-Bohm ring with an embedded quantum dot (QD), the so-called QD interferometer, to address two controversial issues regarding the shape of the Coulomb peaks and measurement of the…

The Kondo effect of a Co atom on Cu(100) was investigated with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope using a monoatomically sharp nickel tip. Upon a tip-Co contact, the differential conductance spectra exhibit a spin-split…

We study the interference between the Fano and Kondo effects in a side-coupled double-quantum- dot system where one of the quantum dots couples to conduction electron bath while the other dot only side-couples to the first dot via…

In this Thesis we develop a novel direction in the theory of nano-objects, i.e., structures of nanometer size in a tunnel contact with macroscopic electron reservoirs (metallic leads). In particular we elucidate the Kondo effect predicted…

A Mn-porphyrin was contacted on Au(111) in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Differential conductance spectra show a zero-bias resonance that is due to an underscreened Kondo effect according to many-body calculations.…
