Non-equilibrium singlet–triplet Kondo effect in carbon nanotubes

Abstract: 1The Kondo-effect is a many-body phenomenon arising due to conduction electrons scattering off a localized spin 1 . Coherent spin-flip scattering off such a quantum impurity correlates the conduction electrons and at low temperature this leads to a zero-bias conductance anomaly 2,3 . This has become a common signature in bias-spectroscopy of single-electron transistors, observed in GaAs quantum dots 4,5,6,7,8,9 as well as in various single-molecule transistors 10,11,12,13,14,15 . While the zero-bias Kondo effe… Show more

“…While quantum critical phenomena related to Kondo screening have been attributed to the astonishing properties of many strongly correlated materials [10], a clear-cut observation in nanostructures of a screening-unscreening transition is still lacking. This is despite the intensive studies of singlettriplet Kondo effects measured through vertical quantum dots [11], GaAs lateral quantum dots under an applied magnetic field [12,13], or at zero magnetic field [14,15], carbon nanotubes [16,17,18,19], and double dot structures [20]. Indeed, the ability to observe a sharp quantum transition is limited either by the existence of two screening electronic channels (linked to conserved orbital quantum numbers), which generically give an avoided transition [21,22], or by relatively low Kondo temperatures, leading to the broad features observed in those experiments.…”

“…At negative bias, the third derivative ( figure 5.4(c)) indicates the presence of three peaks. This evolution in a magnetic field, B, is consistent with inelastic cotunneling from a singlet ground state to an excited triplet state (see figure 5.4(b)) [73,74]. The splitting in each peak should be gμ B m s B with m s = ±1.…”

“…The possibility to design artificial controllable magnetic impurities in nanoscopic conductors has opened a path to study this many body phenomenon in unusual situations as compared to the initial one and, in particular, in out of equilibrium situations [8][9][10] . So far, measurements have focused on the average current.…”
