A new possible transition from two- to one-channel Kondo physics in mesoscopic transport

“…Now the 1CK physics and 2CK physics coexist. The physical origin of the satellite peaks has remained controversial [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Combining with our previous work [24], we conclude that the satellite peaks are caused by the polaron-assisted tunneling.…”

“…Such a satellite feature in d I dV / 2 2 was observed in experiments [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Here we identify that the structure stemmed from the Coulomb dot-lead interaction.…”

“…2(a) shows that in the absence of the Coulomb dot-lead coupling, the differential conductance dI dV / is rather weak and a dip at zero bias voltage for moderate intralead interaction, which prompts a sign of the low-energy correlation states. This ZBA was observed experimentally and was regarded as the experimental evidence for the 2CK effect [36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Fig.…”

Coexistence of Coulomb Blockade and Zero Bias Anomaly in a Strongly Coupled Nanodot

“…The conductance versus gate voltage at low V SD depicted in the top panel of Fig. 2 reveals pronounced conductance oscillations, which are attributed to the CB phenomena [12]. Fig.…”

“…The quantum dots used in this work were Au nanoparticles, 30nm in diameter. Coupling to a set of leads is performed in the following way [11,12]: On a Si-SiO substrate we fabricate two gold electrodes (source and drain) separated by a gap of 10-30nm and a perpendicular side gate electrode at a distance of 150nm as shown in the left inset of Fig. 1.…”
