Kondo effect in quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads

J Martinek, Y Utsumi, H Imamura, J Barnaś… - Physical review …, 2003 - APS
We study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads and analyze its
properties as a function of the spin polarization of the leads. Based on a scaling approach …

Microscopic study of electrical transport through individual molecules with metallic contacts. I. Band lineup, voltage drop, and high-field transport

Y Xue, MA Ratner - Physical Review B, 2003 - APS
We present the first in a series of microscopic studies of electrical transport through
individual molecules with metallic contacts. We view the molecules as “heterostructures” …

Non-Markovian decoherence theory for a double-dot charge qubit

MWY Tu, WM Zhang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2008 - APS
In this paper, we develop a nonperturbation theory for describing decoherence dynamics of

Theory of transport through quantum-dot spin valves in the weak-coupling regime

M Braun, J König, J Martinek - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2004 - APS
We develop a theory of electron transport through quantum dots that are weakly coupled to
ferromagnetic leads. The theory covers both the linear and nonlinear transport regimes …

Tunneling through molecules and quantum dots: Master-equation approaches

C Timm - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2008 - APS
An important class of approaches to the description of electronic transport through
molecules and quantum dots is based on the master equation. We discuss various …

Iterative real-time path integral approach to nonequilibrium quantum transport

S Weiss, J Eckel, M Thorwart, R Egger - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2008 - APS
We have developed a numerical approach to compute real-time path integral expressions
for quantum transport problems out of equilibrium. The scheme is based on a deterministic …

A quantum dot in the limit of strong coupling to reservoirs

J Schmid, J Weis, K Eberl, K Klitzing - Physica B: Condensed Matter, 1998 - Elsevier
We study quantum dots which are defined in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) via
split gates and concentrate on the case where the dots are strongly coupled to reservoirs. At …

W Hofstetter, J König, H Schoeller - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
Abstract We study the Fano-Kondo effect in a closed Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer
which contains a single-level quantum dot and predict a frequency doubling of the AB …
