The retarded Green's function for a single-impurity Anderson model with two reservoirs is obtained in terms of a $5\\times 5$ matrix in which the effect of bias is contained. A complete set of basis vectors for the single-impurity Anderson model has been provided before formulating the Green's function. Finally, we present a self-consistent method to fix the undetermined quantities existing in the matrix elements for the retarded Green's function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-12-31T06:39:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "greens function technique", "two-electrode mesoscopic system", "single-impurity anderson model", "retarded greens function", "complete set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.0615H" } } }
