We obtain the conductance for the system of a quantum dot which is embedded in a one-dimensional chain in zero and finite temperature cases. The external magnetic field gives rise to a negative magnetoconductance in the zero temperature case. It increases as the external magnetic field increases, We obtain the relation between the coupling coefficient and conductance. If the interaction is big enough to prevent conduction electrons from tunnelling through the dot, the dispersion effect is dominant in this case. In the Kondo temperature regime, we obtain the conductivity of a quantum dot system with Kondo correlation.展开更多

A Kosterlitz–Thouless(KT) transition between local spin triplet and singlet is found. In the triplet regime, the local spin is partially screened by the conduction leads and spin-1 Kondo effect is realized.While for the singlet, the Kondo peak is strongly suppressed and the magnetic moment decreases to 0 at a definite low temperature. We attribute this KT transition to the breaking of the reflection symmetry, resulting from the difference of the charge occupations of the two dots. To understand this KT transition and related critical phenomena, detailed scenarios are given in the transmission coefficient and the magnetic moment, and an effective Kondo model refers to the RayleighSchrdinger perturbation theory is used.展开更多

The small-ω behavior C(ω) ∝ ω~s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α(except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0). Our NRG data also show C(ω) ∝ χ~2ω~s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime(ε = 0 and α 〉 αc), supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C(ω) on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω0^*of the unbiased case. C(ω) is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε^*. For ε 》ε^*, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε^*∝(ω0^*)^1/θ holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 〈 1, with θ = 2/(3s) for 0 〈 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/(1 + s) for 1/2 〈 s 〈 1. The variation of C(ω) with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.展开更多

In the weak-coupling regime α 〈 αc, these functions show power law ω-dependence in the small frequency limit, with the powers 1 + 2s, 1 + 2s, and s, respectively. At the critical point α = αc of the boson-unstable quantum phase transition, the critical exponents yO of these correlation functions are obtained as yσx= yσz= 1-2s and yX=-s, respectively. Here s is the bath index and X is the boson displacement operator. Close to the spin flip point, the high frequency peak of Cσx(ω) is broadened significantly and the line shape changes qualitatively, showing enhanced dephasing at the spin flip point.展开更多
