Coherent Transport Through a Quantum Dot Embedded in a Double—Slit—Like Aharonov—Bohm Ring

Coherent transport through a quantum dot embedded in one arm of a double-slit-like Aharononv-Bohm(AB) ring is studied using the green‘s function approach.We obtain experimental obsevations such as continous phase shift along a single resonance peak and sharp inter-resonance phase drop.The AB oscillations of the differential conductance of the whole device are calculated by using the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism.It is shown that the oscillating conductance has a continuous bias-voltage-dependent phase shift and is asymmetric in both linear and nonlinear response regimes.
