The kondo effect in the unitary limit
We observe a strong Kondo effect in a semiconductor quantum dot when a small magnetic field is applied. The Coulomb blockade for electron tunneling is overcome completely by the Kondo effect, and the conductance reaches the unitary limit value. We compare the experimental Kondo temperature with the theoretical predictions for the spin- 12 Anderson impurity model. Excellent agreement is found th...
متن کاملFerromagnetic proximity effect in a ferromagnet-quantum-dot-superconductor device.
The ferromagnetic proximity effect is studied in InAs nanowire based quantum dots strongly coupled to a ferromagnetic (F) and a superconducting (S) lead. The influence of the F lead is detected through the splitting of the spin-1/2 Kondo resonance. We show that the F lead induces a local exchange field on the quantum dot, which has varying amplitude and sign depending on the charge states. The ...
متن کاملg-tensor control in bent carbon nanotube quantum dots
We demonstrate gate control of the electronic g tensor in single and double quantum dots formed along a bend in a carbon nanotube. From the dependence of the single-dot excitation spectrum on magnetic field magnitude and direction, we extract spin-orbit coupling, valley coupling, and spin and orbital magnetic moments. Gate control of the g tensor is measured using the splitting of the Kondo pea...
متن کاملKondo effect in single-molecule spintronic devices
We study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot or a single molecule coupled to ferromagnetic leads. Spin-dependent quantum charge fluctuations in the dot induce the lifting of the spin degeneracy of the dot. It leads to the dot’s level spin splitting observed in the nonequilibrium transport as a splitting of a zero-bias anomaly in the differential conductance. We discuss basic properties of this ef...
متن کاملGiant fluctuations and gate control of the g-factor in InAs nanowire quantum dots.
We study the g-factor of discrete electron states in InAs nanowire based quantum dots. The g values are determined from the magnetic field splitting of the zero bias anomaly due to the spin 1/2 Kondo effect. Unlike to previous studies based on 2DEG quantum dots, the g-factors of neighboring electron states show a surprisingly large fluctuation: g can scatter between 2 and 18. Furthermore electr...
