We investigate a mesoscopic setup composed of a small electron droplet (dot) coupled to a larger quantum dot (grain) also subject to Coulomb blockade as well as two macroscopic leads used as source and drain. An exotic Kondo ground state…
We present measurements on the Kondo-effect in a small quantum dot connected strongly to one lead and weakly to the other. The conductance of the dot reveals an offset of the Kondo resonance at zero magnetic field. While the resonance…
Non-Fermi liquid (NFL) physics can be realized in quantum dot devices where competing interactions frustrate the exact screening of dot spin or charge degrees of freedom. We show that a standard nanodevice architecture, involving a dot…
We study a strongly interacting "quantum dot 1" and a weakly interacting "dot 2" connected in parallel to metallic leads. Gate voltages can drive the system between Kondo-quenched and non-Kondo free-moment phases separated by…
The current-voltage characteristic of a one dimensional quantum dot connected via tunnel barriers to interacting leads is calculated in the region of sequential tunneling. The spin of the electrons is taken into account. Non-Fermi liquid…
We study the effect of electron hopping in triple quantum dots modelled by the three-impurity Anderson model. We determine the range of hopping parameters where the system exhibits the two-channel Kondo effect and has non-Fermi-liquid…
The interplay between vibrational modes and Kondo physics is a fundamental aspect of transport properties of correlated molecular conductors. We present theoretical results for a single molecule in the Kondo regime connected to left and…
We study theoretically a quantum dot in the quantum Hall regime that is strongly coupled to a single lead via a point contact. We find that even when the transmission through the point contact is perfect, important features of the Coulomb…
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…
Entanglement of spin and orbital Kondo effect is investigated on the basis of a Kondo-type exchange model with twofold orbital degeneracy. By using Wilson's numerical renormalization-group method, we examine dynamical and thermal properties…
We investigate theoretically the linear conductance of a two-level quantum dot as a function of the gate voltage and different strength of coupling to the external electronic system (the reservoir). Apart from the weak coupling regime,…
A Fermi Liquid theory is developed for the persistent current past a side coupled quantum dot yielding analytical predictions for the behavior of the first two harmonics of the persistent current as a function of applied magnetic flux. The…
We analyze the transport properties of a double quantum dot device with both dots coupled to perfect conducting leads and to a finite chain of N non-interacting sites connecting both of them. The inter-dot chain strongly influences the…
We analyze the transport properties of a double quantum dot device in the side-coupled configuration. A small quantum dot (QD), having a single relevant electronic level, is coupled to source and drain electrodes. A larger QD, whose…
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…
We study two quantum dots in the limit of strong dot-lead coupling and weak dot-dot tunneling. The model maps on Ising-coupled Kondo impurities. We argue that a new quantum critical fixed point exists at an intermediate value of the mutual…
We discuss the realization of the quantum-critical non-Fermi liquid state, originally discovered within the two-impurity Kondo model, in double quantum-dot systems. Contrary to the common belief, the corresponding fixed point is robust…
We address the outstanding problem of electron pairing in the presence of strong Coulomb repulsion at small to moderate values of the Coulomb parameter, $r_s \lesssim 2$, and demonstrate that the pseudopotential framework is fundamentally…
The paramagnetic phase of the two-channel Kondo lattice model is examined with a Quantum Monte Carlo simulation in the limit of infinite dimensions. We find non-Fermi-liquid behavior at low temperatures including a finite low-temperature…
Kondo effect in the vicinity of a singlet-triplet transition in a vertical quantum dot is considered. This system is shown to map onto a special version of the two-impurity Kondo model. At any value of the control parameter, the system has…
