By means of the slave-boson mean-field approximation, we calculate the conductance, the local density of states, the transmission probability in the Kondo regime at zero temperature. It is clarified how the Kondo-assisted transport changes its properties when the system is continuously changed among the serial, parallel and T-shaped double dots. The obtained results for the conductance are explained in terms of the Kondo resonances influenced by interference effects. We also discuss the impacts due to the spin-polarization of ferromagnetic leads.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-08-02T13:20:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "double quantum dots", "interference effects", "slave-boson mean-field approximation", "electron transport", "kondo resonances" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
