In the entire frequency range tested (10--50 GHz), the Kondo resonance vanishes by increasing the microwave power. This suppression of the Kondo resonance shows an unexpected scaling behavior. No evidence for photon-sideband formation is found. The comparison with temperature-dependence measurements indicates that radiation-induced spin dephasing plays an important role in the suppression of the Kondo effect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-12-08T04:28:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kondo effect", "microwave radiation", "suppression", "semiconductor quantum dot", "kondo resonance vanishes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999cond.mat.12126E" } } }
