We consider a lateral double-dot system in the Coulomb blockade regime with a single spin-1/2 on each dot, mutually coupled by an anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction. Each of the two dots is contacted by two leads. We demonstrate that…
A numerically exact calculation of the T=0 transport properties of a quantum wire interacting with a lateral two-level quantum dot is presented. The wire conductance is calculated for all different states of charge and spin of the quantum…
The Fano-Kondo effect in zero-bias conductance is investigated based on a theoretical model for the T-shaped quantum dot. The conductance as a function of the gate voltage is generally characterized by a Fano asymmetric parameter q. With…
We report here on a direct and non-invasive measurement of the charge and its distribution in a Kondo correlated quantum dot (QD). A non-invasive potential-sensitive detector in proximity with the QD reveals that even though the conductance…
The interplay between the coupling of an interacting quantum dot to a conduction band and its connection to localized levels has been studied in a triple quantum dot arrangement. The electronic Dicke effect, resulting from quasi-resonant…
The tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope is brought into contact with individual Kondo impurities (cobalt atoms) adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface. A smooth transition from the tunneling regime to a point contact with a…
In a tunneling experiment across a quantum dot it is possible to change the coupling between the dot and the contacts at will, by properly tuning the trasparency of the barriers and the temperature. Gate voltages allow for changes of the…
The relevance of magnetic impurity problems in cold atom systems depends crucially on the nature of exchange interaction between itinerant fermionic atoms and a localized impurity atom. In particular, Kondo physics occurs only if the…
We study the charge and heat transport through the correlated quantum dot with a finite value of the charging energy U \neq \infty . The Kondo resonance appearing at temperatures below T_K is responsible for several qualitative changes of…
We consider the Kondo effect in quantum dots coupled to Luttinger liquid leads, focussing on the case of repulsive interactions and spin SU(2) symmetry in the leads. We find that the system can flow to the 1-channel or 2-channel Kondo fixed…
Using a laterally-fabricated quantum-dot (QD) spin-valve device, we experimentally study the Kondo effect in the electron transport through a semiconductor QD with an odd number of electrons (N). In a parallel magnetic configuration of the…
We investigate the real-time current response of strongly-correlated quantum dot systems under sinusoidal driving voltages. By means of an accurate hierarchical equations of motion approach, we demonstrate the presence of prominent memory…
Electron tunneling through quantum-dots side coupled to a quantum wire, in equilibrium and nonequilibrium Kondo regime, is studied. The mean-field finite-$U$ slave-boson formalism is used to obtain the solution of the problem. We have found…
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 consider a quantum dot coupled to two BCS superconductors with same gap energies $\Delta$. The transport properties are investigated by means of infinite-$U$ noncrossing approximation. In equilibrium density of states, Kondo effect shows…
We investigate a lateral semiconductor quantum dot with a large number of electrons in the limit of strong coupling to the leads. A Kondo effect is observed and can be tuned in a perpendicular magnetic field. This Kondo effect does not…
We develop a general method to evaluate the Kondo temperature in a multilevel quantum dot that is weakly coupled to conducting leads. Our theory reveals that the Kondo temperature is strongly enhanced when the intradot energy-level spacing…
The transmission phase through a quantum dot with few electrons shows a complex, non-universal behavior. Here we combine configuration-interaction calculations ---treating rigorously Coulomb interaction--- and the Friedel sum rule to…
In this work we analyze how coherent transport through a Quantum Dot (QD) in the Kondo regime is affected by the weak capacitive interaction with a nearby biased Quantum Point Contact (QPC). We find that when the QD-QPC interaction is weak…
We examine the impact of Coulomb electron-electron interaction on transport in a junction with a quantum dot described by Kondo Hamiltonian. We analyze the Fermi liquid regime and consider the limit of zero temperature. With the help of…
