Resonant and Kondo tunneling through molecular magnets
Transport through molecular magnets is studied in the regime of strong coupling to the leads. We consider a resonant-tunneling model where the electron spin in a quantum dot or molecule is coupled to an additional local, anisotropic spin via exchange interaction. The two opposite regimes dominated by resonant tunneling and by Kondo transport, respectively, are considered. In the resonant-tunnel...
متن کاملResonant Magnetization Tunneling in Molecular Magnets
The frontier between the classical and quantum worlds can be approached in one of two ways: from the top down or the bottom up. The top-down approach entails starting with an essentially classical variable (e.g. the flux in a superconducting loop, the charge on a small superconducting island or the magnetization of a single-domain magnetic particle) and squeezing down the size of the system (th...
متن کاملQuantum-tunneling-induced Kondo effect in single molecular magnets.
We consider transport through a single-molecule magnet strongly coupled to metallic electrodes. We demonstrate that, for a half-integer spin of the molecule, electron and spin tunneling cooperate to produce both quantum tunneling of the magnetic moment and a Kondo effect in the linear conductance. The Kondo temperature depends sensitively on the ratio of the transverse and easy-axis anisotropie...
متن کاملSpin Tunneling in Molecular Magnets
We study spin tunneling in magnetic molecules, with special reference to Fe8. The article aims to give a pedagogical discussion of what is meant by the tunneling of a spin, and how tunneling amplitudes or energy level splittings may be calculated using path integral and discrete phase integral methods. In the case of Fe8, an issue of great interest is the oscillatory tunnel splittings as a func...
متن کاملKondo tunneling through real and artificial molecules.
When an asymmetric double dot is hybridized with itinerant electrons, its singlet ground state and lowly excited triplet state cross, leading to a competition between the Zhang-Rice mechanism of singlet-triplet splitting in a confined cluster and the Kondo effect (which accompanies the tunneling through quantum dot under a Coulomb blockade restriction). The rich physics of an underscreened S = ...
