several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration …

Universal transport signatures in two-electron molecular quantum dots: gate-tunable Hund's rule, underscreened Kondo effect and quantum phase transitions

S Florens, A Freyn, N Roch… - Journal of Physics …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We review here some universal aspects of the physics of two-electron molecular transistors
in the absence of strong spin–orbit effects. Several recent quantum dot experiments have …

Two-channel Kondo physics in two-impurity Kondo models

AK Mitchell, E Sela, DE Logan - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We consider the non-Fermi-liquid quantum critical state of the spin-S two-impurity Kondo
model and its potential realization in a quantum dot device. Using conformal field theory and …

Exchange interaction between two quantum dots coupled through a superconducting island

Á Bácsi, L Pavešić, R Žitko - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We present a theoretical study of a system consisting of a superconducting island and two
quantum dots, a possible platform for building qubits and Cooper pair splitters, in the regime …

Iron phthalocyanine on Au (111) is a “non-Landau” Fermi liquid

R Žitko, GG Blesio, LO Manuel, AA Aligia - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
The paradigm of Landau's Fermi liquid theory has been challenged with the finding of a
strongly interacting Fermi liquid that cannot be adiabatically connected to a non-interacting …

Transport calculations based on density functional theory, Friedel's sum rule, and the Kondo effect

P Tröster, P Schmitteckert, F Evers - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2012 - APS
Friedel's sum rule provides an explicit expression for a conductance functional G [n], valid for
the single-impurity Anderson model at zero temperature. The functional is special because it …

Local moment formation and Kondo screening in impurity trimers

AK Mitchell, TF Jarrold, MR Galpin… - The Journal of Physical …, 2013 - ACS Publications
We study theoretically a triangular cluster of three magnetic impurities, hybridizing locally
with conduction electrons of a metallic host. Such a cluster is the simplest to exhibit …

Fully compensated Kondo effect for a two-channel spin impurity

GG Blesio, LO Manuel, AA Aligia, P Roura-Bas - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study the low-temperature properties of the generalized Anderson impurity model in
which two localized configurations, one with two doublets and the other with a triplet, are …

Spin-polarized conductance in double quantum dots: Interplay of Kondo, Zeeman, and interference effects

LGGV Dias da Silva, E Vernek, K Ingersent… - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
We study the effect of a magnetic field in the Kondo regime of a double-quantum-dot system
consisting of a strongly correlated dot (the “side dot”) coupled to a second, noninteracting …

Interplay between Kondo physics and spin-orbit coupling in carbon nanotube quantum dots

MR Galpin, FW Jayatilaka, DE Logan, FB Anders - Physical Review B …, 2010 - APS
We investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the Kondo effects in carbon nanotube
quantum dots, using the numerical renormalization group technique. A sufficiently large spin …
