Kondo and Coulomb Interaction Effects in Spin-Polarized Transport through Double Quantum Dots

By means of the slave-boson mean-field approximation, we theoretically investigate the Kondo and Coulomb interaction effects in spin-polarized transport through two coupled quantum dots coupled to two ferromagnetic leads by the Anderson Hamiltonian. The density of states is calculated in the Kondo regime for the effect of the interdot Coulomb repulsion with both parallel and antiparallel lead-polarization alignments. Our results reveal that the interdot Coulomb interaction between quantum dots greatly influence the density of states of the dots.     

Geometric Phase of Double Quantum Dot Qubits System with Coulomb Interaction

In quantum computing the geometric phase is a valuable tool to achieve fault tolerant. And quantum dot system is a candidate for constructing quantum processor. In this paper we investigate the geometric phase of a double qubits system interaction with a quantum point contact device. The qubits were constructed by two coupled double quantum dots systems. The coulomb interaction between the two subsystem have been considered. By using the definition which introduced by Tong, we calculate the geometric phases of each double quantum dots subsystem.     

Versatile Graphene Quantum Dots with Tunable Nitrogen Doping

This paper reports a facile fabrication of N‐doped graphene quantum dots (N‐GQDs) showing controllable chemical properties through a hydrothermal treatment. The N‐GQDs have a uniform size of 3.06 ± 0.78 nm and prefer the equilibrium shapes of circle and ellipse due to the minimization of edge free energy. The N/C atomic ratio in N‐GQDs can be precisely tailored in a range from 8.3 at% to 15.8 at% by simply controlling the concentration of N source (ammonium hydroxide). One order of magnitude quantum yield of 34.5% is achieved by N‐GQDs, compared with the N‐free GQDs, as the substitutional N has an essential role in more effective radiative emission. Excessive N dopants in N‐GQDs can lead to photoluminescence quenching, through nonradiative transition back to the ground state. The N‐GQDs are further found to be suitable as photocurrent conversion materials due to benign energy matching with anatase nanofibers, the ultrafast electron injection at their interface, and efficient electron transfer. This work provides an efficient and inspiring approach to engineering both chemical components and physical properties of N‐GQDs, and will therefore promote their basic research and applications in energy conversion.

为了制备氮-磷共掺杂石墨烯量子点(N,P-GQDs)以探索其荧光性质的可调性,我们采用水热法以柠檬酸为碳源,六氯三聚磷腈为氮源、磷源,制备出了蓝色光致发光的氮-磷共掺杂石墨烯量子点(N,P-GQDs)。通过一些测试表征可以发现:制备的N,P-GQDs尺寸分布均匀,其横向平均尺寸约4.8 nm,晶格间距为0.24 nm,纵向平均厚度约0.95 nm。在光学性能测试中,观察到N,P-GQDs的荧光发射光谱对激发波长具有强的依赖性,其对可见光表现为较强的吸收性。通过量子产率公式计算得出N,P-GQDs的量子产率为10.4%。所制备出的N,P-GQDs具有优异的抗漂白能力及光学稳定性。通过调节样品的稀释浓度比例对N,P-GQDs的荧光性质的可调性进行研究,发现随着稀释倍数的增加,荧光强度先增加后下降。此外,发现制备的N,P-GQDs对Fe³⁺产生强烈的复合作用,使N,P-GQDs荧光猝灭,由此建立了Fe³⁺的传感分析方法。

Coulomb Interaction in Quantum Dot with a Precessing Magnetic Field

We study electronic transport through a quantum dot （QD） with a precessing magnetic field. By using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function method, formulas of local density of states （LDOS） and conductance of QD are derived self-consistently. It shows that the LDOS and conductance have obvious changes with the Coulomb blockade interaction. The intensity and angle of the magnetic field or temperatures, which reflect the mesoscopic structure of the QD are derived. The superiority of this device is that the QD can be controlled easily by the magnetic field, so it is valuable to apply in generating, manipulating and probing spin state.

Universal Ratio of Coulomb Interaction to Geometric Quantization in (In,Ga)As/GaAs Quantum Dots

We study the photoluminescence of self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dot ensembles with varying confinement potential height. The low energy shift of the s-shell emission with increasing excitation power gives a measure of the Coulomb interaction in these structures as it results from carrier–carrier interactions between the optically injected exciton complexes. When dividing this shift by the dot level splitting, determined by the geometric confinement, we obtain a universal function of the number of involved excitons that is independent of the confinement potential height. This shows an identical scaling of Coulomb interaction and geometric quantization with varying confinement.     

Quantum Phase Transition and Ferromagnetic Spin Correlation in Parallel Double Quantum Dots

We investigate electronic transport through a parallel double quantum dot （DQD） system with strong on-site Coulomb interaction, as well as the interdot tunnelling. By applying numerical renormalization group method, the ground state of the system and the transmission probability at zero temperature are obtained. For a system of quantum dots with degenerate energy levels and small interdot tunnel coupling, the spin correlations between the DQDs is ferromagnetic, and the ground state of the system is a spin-1 triplet state. The linear conductance will reach the unitary limit （2e^2/h） due to the Kondo effect at low temperature. As the interdot tunnel coupling increases, there is a quantum phase transition from ferromagnetic to anti-ferromagnetic spin correlation in DQDs and the linear conductance is strongly suppressed.     

Spin-Polarized Transport through the T-Shaped Double Quantum Dots with Fano-Kondo Interaction

We theoretically investigate the spin-polarized transport properties of the T-shaped double quantum dots coupled to two ferromagnetic leads by the Anderson Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian is solved by means of the slave-boson mean-field theory. We calculate the density of states and the liner conductance in this system with both parallel and antiparallel lead-polarization alignments, and our results show that the transport properties of this system depend on both the tunnelling strength between the two dots and the spin-polarized strength p. This system is a possible candidate for spin valve transistors in the spintronics.

Study on the Interaction of the CpG Alternating DNA with CdTe Quantum Dots

A novel sensitive method for detection of DNA methylation was developed with thioglycollic acid (TGA)-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescence probes. Recognition of methylated DNA sites would be useful strategy due to the important roles of methylation in disease occurrence and developmental processes. DNA methylation occurs most often at cytosine-guanine sites (CpG dinucleotides) of gene promoters. The QDs significantly interacted with hybridized unmethylated and methylated DNA. The interaction of CpG rich methylated and unmethylated DNA hybrid with quantum dots as an optical probe has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and electrophoresis assay. The fluorescence intensity of QDs was highly dependent to unmethylated and methylated DNA. Specific site of CpG islands of Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a well-studied tumor suppressor gene, was used as the detection target. Under optimum conditions, upon the addition of unmethylated dsDNA, the fluorescence intensity increased in linear range from 1.0?×?10^??10 to 1.0?×?10^??6M with detection limit of 6.2?×?10^??11 M and on the other hand, the intensity of QDs showed no changes with addition of methylated dsDNA. We also demonstrated that the unmethylated and methylated DNA and QDs complexes showed different mobility in electrophoresis assay. This easy and reliable method could distinguish between methylated and unmethylated DNA sequences.
