In a parallel magnetic configuration of the ferromagnetic electrodes, the Kondo resonance at N = 3 splits clearly without external magnetic fields. With applying magnetic fields (B), the splitting is gradually reduced, and then the Kondo effect is almost restored at B = 1.2 T. This means that, in the Kondo regime, an inverse effective magnetic field of B ~ 1.2 T can be applied to the QD in the parallel magnetic configuration of the ferromagnetic electrodes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-12-16T02:48:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Kv", "73.40.Sx", "75.25.+z", "72.10.Fk" ], "keywords": [ "semiconductor quantum dot", "kondo effect", "ferromagnetic electrodes", "parallel magnetic configuration", "inverse effective magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Dec", "volume": 91, "number": 23, "pages": 232105 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007ApPhL..91w2105H" } } }
