The novelty of the set-up consists in connecting the Kondo dot directly to the leads, while the side dot provides an interference path which affects the Kondo correlations. We analyze the oscillations of the source-drain current due to the periodical Coulomb blockade of the many-level side-dot at the variation of the gate potential applied on it. The Fano profile of these oscillations may be controlled by the temperature, gate potential and interdot coupling. The non-equilibrium conductance of the double dot system exhibits zero bias anomaly which, besides the usual enhancement, may show also a suppression (a dip-like aspect) which occurs around the Fano {\\it zero}. In the same region, the weak temperature dependence of the conductance indicates the suppression of the Kondo effect. Scaling properties of the non-equilibrium conductance in the Fano-Kondo regime are discussed. Since the SIAM Kondo temperature is no longer the proper scaling parameter, we look for an alternative specific to the double-dot. The extended Anderson model, Keldysh formalism and equation of motion technique are used.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-01-28T04:20:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Kv", "85.35.Ds" ], "keywords": [ "zero bias anomaly", "double dot meso-transistor", "coulomb oscillations", "fano-kondo effect", "gate potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.83.245317", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 83, "number": 24, "pages": 245317 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83x5317A" } } }
