Transport Properties of Two Coupled Quantum Dots Under Optical Pumping

Using the Keldysh-Green function,we present a theoretical study on the electron transport properties of two coupled quantum dots under optical pumping. Plateaus in the I-V curve and resonant peaks in the transmission coefficient occur and can be explained by the local electron density of states in the quantum dots. The effects of the optical pumping frequency and intensity on the transport properties of the system are also discussed. The electron dynamical localization phenomenon occurs when the optical pumping frequency is equal to the discrete hole energy level. This result can be used to realize optical control switches.

Heat Generation by Electric Current in Normal-Metal-Molecular Quantum Dot-Superconductor System

We investigate the heat generation induced by electrical current in a normal-metal-molecular quantum dot-superconductor （NDS） system. By using nonequilibrium Green＇s function method, the heat generation Q is derived and studied in detail. The superconducting lead influences the heat generation significantly. An obvious step appears in Q - eV characteristics and the iocation of this step is related with the phonon frequency ωo. The heat generations exhibit very different behaviour in the condition eV 〈 △ and eV 〉 △ due to different tunneling mechanism. From the study of Q - eVg curves, there is an extra peak as eV 〉 △. The difference in this two cases is also shown in Q - ωo curve, an extra peak emerges as eV 〉 △.

Perturbative Correction to Transverse Ward-Takahashi Relation for the Vector Vertex

We re-derive exactly the transverse Ward–Takahashi relation for the vector vertex in momentum space. The result shows that this transverse Ward–Takahashi relation in momentum space involves a perturbative correction term. We demonstrate explicitly that this transverse Ward–Takahashi relation is satisfied indeed at one-loop order.

Splitting and Restoration of Kondo Peak in a Deformed Molecule Quantum Dot Coupled to Ferromagnetic Electrodes

We adopt the nonequilibrium Green＇s function method to theoretically study the Kondo effect in a deformed molecule, which is treated as an electron-phonon interaction （EPI） system. The self-energy for phonon part is calculated in the standard many-body diagrammatic expansion up to the second order in EPI strength. We find that the multiple phonon-assisted Kondo satellites arise besides the usual Kondo resonance. In the antiparallel magnetic configuration the splitting of main Kondo peak and phonon-assisted satellites only happen for asymmetrical dot-lead couplings, but it is free from the symmetry for the parallel magnetic configuration. The EPI strength and vibrational frequency can enhance the spin splitting of both main Kondo and satellites. It is shown that the suppressed zero-bias Kondo resonance can be restored by applying an external magnetic field, whose magnitude is dependent on the phononic effect remarkably. Although the asymmetry in tunnel coupling has no contribution to the restoration of spin splitting of Kondo peak, it can shrink the external field needed to switch tunneling magnetoresistance ratio between large negative dip and large positive peak.

Frequency in Middle of Magnon Band Gap in a Layered Ferromagnetic Superlattice

The frequency in middle of magnon energy band in a five-layer ferromagnetic superlattice is studied by using the linear spin-wave approach and Green＇s function technique. It is found that four energy gaps and corresponding four frequencie in middle of energy gaps exist in the magnon band along Kx direction perpendicular to the superlattice plane. The spin quantum numbers and the interlayer exchange couplings all affect the four frequencies in middle of the energy gaps. When all interlayer exchange couplings are same, the effect of spin quantum numbers on the frequency wg1 in middle of the energy gap Δw12 is complicated, and the frequency wg1 depends on the match of spin quantum numbers in each layer. Meanwhile, the frequencies wg2, wg3, and wg4 in middle of other energy gaps increase monotonously with increasing spin quantum numbers. When the spin quantum numbers in each layer are same, the frequencies wg1, wg2, wg3, and wg4 all increase monotonously with increasing interlayer exchange couplings.

Quantum Impurity Models with Coupled Cluster Method

We investigate the ground-state properties of the Anderson single impurity model （finite Coulomb impurity repulsion） with the Coupled Cluster Method. We consider different CCM reference states and approximation schemes and make comparison with exact Green＇s function results for the non-interacting model and with Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory for the full interacting model. Our results show that coupled cluster techniques are well suited to quantum impurity problems.

Kondo Resonance Splitting in a Quantum Dot with Perpendicular Magnetic Fields

Using the nonequilibrium Green＇s function technique, we investigate the Kondo effect in the quantum dot with perpendicular magnetic fields, in which one is the Zeeman splitting lies in the z-direction and the other is the spin flip points at the x-direction. It is found whatever one or two magnetic fields are applied, the local density of states （LDOS） will split into two peaks. The positions of two Kondo resonance peaks are determined by Zeeman energy △ when J = 0, and by √△^2＋J^2 when J≠0.

Influences of a Side-Coupled Triple Quantum Dot on Kondo Transport Through a Quantum Dot

Kondo transport properties through a Kondo-type quantum dot （QD） with a side-coupled triple-QD structure are systematically investigated by using the non-equilibrium Green＇s function method. We firstly derive the formulae of the current, the linear conductance, the transmission coefficient, and the local density of states. Then we carry out the analytical and numerical studies and some universal conductance properties are obtained. It is shown that the number of the conductance valleys is intrinsically determined by the side-coupled QDs and at most equal to the number of the QDs included in the side-coupled structure in the asymmetric limit. In the process of forming the conductance valleys, the side-coupled QD system plays the dominant role while the couplings between the Kondo-type QD and the side-coupled structure play the subsidiary and indispensable roles. To testify the validity of the universal conductance properties, another different kinds of side-coupled triple-QD structures are considered. It should be emphasized that these universal properties axe applicable in understanding this kind of systems with arbitrary many-QD side structures.

Two-Component Description for Relativistic Fermions

We propose a two-component form to describe massive relativistic fermions in gauge theories. Relations between the Green＇s functions in this form and those in the conventional four-component form are derived. It is shown that the S-matrix elements in both forms are exactly the same. The description of the fermion in the new form simplifies significantly the γ-matrix algebra in the four-component form. In particular, in perturbative calculations the propagator of the fermion is a scalar function. As examples, we use this form to reproduce the relativistic spectrum of hydrodron atom, the S-matrix of e＋e-→μ＋μ- and QED one-loop vacuum polarization of photon.

Light Front Boson Model Propagation

The scope and aim of this work is to describe the two-body interaction mediated by a particle （either the scalar or the gauge boson） within the light-front formulation. To do this, first of all we point out the importance of propagators and Green functions in Quantum Mechanics. Then we project the covariant quantum propagator onto the light front time to get the propagator for scalar particles in these coordinates. This operator propagates the wave function from x＋ = 0 to x＋ 〉 0. It corresponds to the definition of the time ordering operation in the light front time x＋. We calculate the light-front Green＇s function for 2 interacting bosons propagating forward in x＋. We also show how to write down the light front Green＇s function from the Feynman propagator and finally make a generalization to N bosons.

Quantum conductance of armchair carbon nanocoils: roles of geometry effects

Armchair carbon nanocoils (CNCs) with different geometric parameters are constructed and optimized using a tight-binding (TB) total energy model. The quantum conductance of these nanocoils is simulated employing a π-orbital TB model incorporated with the non-equilibrium Green's function theory. Compared with the perfect armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and armchair CNTs with only Stone-Wales (SW) defects, the quantum conductance spectra of the armchair CNCs present distinct gaps around the Fermi level, which are mainly originated from the existence of sp3 carbon in the three-dimensional spiral structures. Moreover, the detailed conductance spectra of the armchair CNCs depend sensitively on their geometric parameters, such as tubular diameter and block-block distance.

Heat Generation by Electrical Current in Quantum Dot System with Fano Resonance

We study the heat generation in quantum dot system with Fano resonance by nonequilibrium Green＇s functions method. The Fano resonance influences the heat generation significantly. As increases, the heat generation decreases gradually. From the study of Q-eV curves, we llnd that the linewidth function F has huge influence on the heat generation. The Q-eV curves display obvious steps when the linewidth function is small. However, these steps disappear with F increasing. As the source-drain bias eV increases, the Q-eVg curves also display interesting behaviors.

Scalars and Neutral Fermions on the Background with Hyperscaling Violation

We study the scalar and fermionic retarded Green＇s function on the background with hyperscMing violation by means of the prescriptions proposed in [J. High Eergy Phys. 09 （2002） 042; Fortsch. Phys. 57 （2009） 367]. For scalar field, we consider both massless and massive cases, and for spinor field, we further calculate the finite temperature correlator with the black hole background.

Quantum Transport through a Triple Quantum Dot System in the Presence of Majorana Bound States

We study the electron transport through a special quantum-dot(QD)structure composed of three QDs and two Majorana bound states(MBSs)using the nonequilibrium Green’s function technique.This QD-MBS ring structure includes two channels with the two coupled MBSs being Channel 1 and one QD being Channel 2,and three types of transport processes such as the electron transmission(ET),the Andreev reflection(AR),and the crossed Andreev reflection(CAR).By comparing the ET,AR,and CAR processes through Channels 1 and 2,we make a systematic study on the transport properties of the QD-MBS ring.It is shown that there appear two kinds of characteristic transport patterns for Channels 1 and 2,as well as the interplay between the two patterns.Of particular interest is that there exists an AR-assisted ET process in Channel 2,which is different from that in Channel 1.Thus a clear"X"pattern due to the ET and AR processes appears in the ET,AR,and CAR transmission coefficients.Moreover,we study how Channel 2 affects the three transport processes when Channel 1 is tuned in the ET and CAR regimes.It is shown that the transport properties of the ET,AR and CAR processes can be adjusted by tuning the energy level of the QD embedded in Channel 2.We believe this research should be a helpful reference for understanding the transport properties in the QD-MBS coupled systems.
