Transmission phase shift of a quantum dot with kondo correlations
1Institut fur Theoretische Festkorperphysik, Universitat Karlsruhe, 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany.
Abstract:
We study the effects of Kondo correlations on the transmission phase shift of a quantum dot in an Aharonov-Bohm ring. We predict in detail how the development of a Kondo resonance should affect the dependence of the phase shift on transport voltage, gate voltage, and temperature. This system should allow the first direct observation of the well-known scattering phase shift of pi/2 expected (but not directly measurable in bulk systems) at zero temperature for an electron scattering off a spin- 1 / 2 impurity that is screened into a singlet.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
