Interdot Coulomb repulsion effect on the charge transport of parallel double
نویسنده
چکیده
The charge transport behaviors of parallel double single electron transistors (SETs) are investigated by the Anderson model with two impurity levels. The nonequilibrium Keldysh Green’s technique is used to calculate the current-voltage characteristics of system. For SETs implemented by quantum dots (QDs) embedded into a thin SiO2 layer, the interdot Coulomb repulsion is more important than the interdot electron hopping as a result of high potential barrier height between QDs and SiO2 barrier. We found that the interdot Coulomb repulsion not only leads to new resonant levels but also creates negative differential conductances.

Transport through a double quantum dot with interdot repulsion
Abstract. We study transport through a double quantum dot with interdot hopping t, intradot repulsion U and interdot repulsion U ′, using the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method. At half-filling, the conductances in two-terminal series and four-terminal parallel configuration are calculated via two phase shifts for quasi-particles of double quantum dot connected to two noninteracting l...

We examine transport and microwave properties of two coupled quantum dots taken in parallel connection to the common left lead and connected to separate leads at their right side. In addition, the area between the left lead and the double-dot structure is threaded by Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux. We determine the energies and populations of double-dot levels on the microscopic basis taking into ...
متن کاملElectron Transport through Double Quantum Dots with Interdot Coulomb Repulsion
Electron transport through a system of two quantum dots connected in series is studied theoretically with the use of non-equilibrium Green function formalism based on the equation of motion method. Each dot is described by the one-level Anderson Hamiltonian and interdot Coulomb interactions in the form of the Hubbard-like term are taken into account. The electric current and occupation numbers ...

We investigate electronic transport through a parallel double quantum dot (DQD) system with strong on-site Coulomb interaction and capacitive interdot coupling. By applying the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method, the ground state of the system and the transmission probability at zero temperature have been obtained. For a system of quantum dots with degenerate energy levels and small i...
متن کاملPrediction of ferromagnetic correlations in coupled double-level quantum dots.
Numerical results for transport properties of two coupled double-level quantum dots (QDs) strongly suggest that under appropriate conditions the dots develop a novel ferromagnetic (FM) correlation at quarter filling (one electron per dot). In the strong coupling regime (Coulomb repulsion larger than electron hopping) and with interdot tunneling larger than tunneling to the leads, an S=1 Kondo r...
