Summary

Persistent current in quantum dot rings depends on electron count. Even electron systems mimic perfect rings, while odd electron systems show suppressed current, indicating reduced Kondo-resonant transmission.

  • Understand Kondo-assisted transport phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a variational ansatz for ground state description.
  • Studied systems with both even and odd numbers of electrons.
  • Analyzed the role of Kondo temperature and energy level spacing.

Main Results:

  • Even electron systems with specific energy spacing show persistent current similar to ideal rings.
  • Odd electron systems exhibit strongly suppressed persistent current.
  • Kondo-resonant transmission is suppressed in odd electron systems.

Conclusions:

  • Electron parity significantly impacts persistent current in quantum dot rings.
  • Kondo effect plays a crucial role in modulating transport properties.
  • Findings offer insights into controlling quantum transport in mesoscopic devices.
