We observe a split Kondo resonance when a finite bias voltage is imposed across the wire. The splitting is attributed to the creation of a double-step Fermi distribution function in the wire. Kondo correlations are strongly suppressed when the voltage across the wire exceeds the Kondo temperature. A perpendicular magnetic field enables us to selectively control the coupling between the dot and the two Fermi seas in the wire. Already at fields of order 0.1 T only the Kondo resonance associated with the strongly coupled reservoir survives.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-03-15T10:47:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kondo effect", "mesoscopic device", "perpendicular magnetic field enables", "double-step fermi distribution function", "finite bias voltage" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..3146D" } } }
