Kondo effect for electron transport through an artificial quantum dot

We have calculated the transport properties of electron through an artificial quantum dot by using the numerical renormalization group technique in this paper. We obtain the conductance for the system of a quantum dot which is embedded in a one-dimensional chain in zero and finite temperature cases. The external magnetic field gives rise to a negative magnetoconductance in the zero temperature case. It increases as the external magnetic field increases. We obtain the relation between the coupling coefficient and conductance. If the interaction is big enough to prevent conduction electrons from tunnelling through the dot, the dispersion effect is dominant in this case. In the Kondo temperature regime, we obtain the conductivity of a quantum dot system with Kondo correlation.     

表面在位化学与液相化学反应的关联和差别

作为一门化学与物理交叉的新兴学科,表面在位化学(on-surface chemistry)自诞生以来一直处于表面科学的研究前沿.表面在位化学反应既依托于传统溶液反应,又与传统液相化学反应有着明显的区别.传统溶液反应中的诸多经验、理论在表面在位化学反应中依旧适用,很多经典的溶液反应也能在表面上得以实现.然而,利用表面限域效应可以引发一系列在传统溶液反应中难以实现的,具有高精度、高选择性的化学反应,这使得表面在位化学在功能性大分子设计、合成化学以及新材料制备中显示出十分诱人的潜能.本文总结了一些具有代表性的表面在位化学反应,通过比较其与传统溶液反应路径和产物上的差别,归纳了表面在位化学的特点,并对这种"新型"反应手段未来将会面临到的机遇与挑战做出展望.

Transmission of electron through an Aharonov－Bohm interferometer with a quantum dot in Coulomb blockade regime

We calculate conductance of an Aharonov－Bohm (AB) interferometer for which a single-level quantum dot in the Coulomb blockade regime is embedded in one of its arms. Using the Schr?dinger equations and taking into account the Coulomb interaction on the dot, we calculate conductance G as a function of flux φ threaded through the ring and as a function of gate voltage V applied to the dot. It is found that the AB oscillations of G(φ) depend on the particle occupation on the dot, controlled by V. If the system is closed, there is no loss of particles, G(φ) is periodic and G(φ)=G(-φ), satisfying the Onsager relation. In this case G(φ) can reach its maximum value, 2e^2/h, at the resonance. When the system is open, one has G(φ)≠G(-φ), G(φ) yields a phase shift which depends on the loss rate of electrons in this open system.
