It is found that the splitting decreases for increasing magnetic field, to result in a recovered zero-bias Kondo resonance at finite magnetic field. Surprisingly, in the same charge state, but under different gate-configurations, the splitting does not disappear for any value of the magnetic field, but we observe an avoided crossing of two high-conductance lines. We think that our observations can be understood in terms of a two-impurity Kondo effect with two spins coupled antiferromagnetically. The exchange coupling between the two spins can be influenced by a local gate, and the non-recovery of the Kondo resonance for certain gate configurations is explained by the existence of a small antisymmetric contribution to the exchange interaction between the two spins.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-05-31T16:21:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "carbon nanotube quantum dot", "gate-tunable split kondo effect", "magnetic field", "zero-bias kondo resonance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nanotechnology", "year": 2011, "month": "Jul", "volume": 22, "number": 26, "pages": 265204 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011Nanot..22z5204E" } } }
