Abstract:
We report on cotunneling spectroscopy magnetoconductance measurements of multihole ultraclean carbon nanotube quantum dots in the SU(4) Kondo regime with strong spin-orbit coupling. Successive shells show a gradual weakening of the Kondo effect with respect to the spin-orbital splittings, leading to an evolution from SU(4) to SU(2) symmetry with a suppressed conductance at half-shell filling. The extracted energy level spectrum, overall consistent with negligible disorder in the nanotube, shows in the half filled case large renormalizations due to Coulombian effects.
