 Kondo effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kondo effect is the first known example of asymptotic freedom in physics, in which the coupling becomes non-perturbatively strong at low temperatures/low energies.
Extended to a lattice of magnetic impurities, the Kondo effect is believed to underly the formation of heavy fermions in intermetallic compounds based upon especially rare earth elements like cerium, praseodymium, and ytterbium, and actinide elements like uranium.
More recently, it is believed that a manifestation of the Kondo effect is necessary for understanding the unusual metallic delta-phase of plutonium.

We study quantum effects in a spin-3/2 antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice in an external magnetic field, focusing on the vicinity of a plateau in the magnetization at half the saturation value, observed in CdCr$_2$O$_4$, and HgCr$_2$O$_4$.
The theory includes the effects of incoherent surface state electron scattering at the impurities and quantitively describes all of the current STM data on quantum corrals, including the recent quantum mirage experiments with Kondo effect.
The calculated Kondo coupling is inversely proportional to the total spin of the ferromagnetic cluster in both models and thus the Kondo temperature is rapidly suppressed as the size of the cluster increases.

Kondo behavior was found recently in a single-electron transistor, which consists of a semiconductor quantum dot sandwiched between two metallic leads.
The concept of the Kondo effect is intriguing because it involves the pairing of a localized electron with an electron in an extended state in the metal.
Although interactions between electrons in quantum dots are known to be important, the Kondo phenomenon is a true many-body effect requiring a coherent state resulting from the coupling of the localized electrons in the dot and a continuum of electron states outside the dot.

We study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot (QD), which is coupled to ferromagnetic leads, and analyze its properties.
The value of the Kondo temperature decreases with increase of the spin polarization and is suppressed to zero for the full spin-polarized system.
We show that the Kondo effect in the presence of ferromagnetic leads has unique properties such as a strong spin polarization of the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level.

It was found thatthe resistance of a metal with these impurities does notdecrease to a constant at low temperatures (as for a metal with non-magneticimpurities), but actually hits a shallow minimum at a temperature of order 10 K, thenincreases at lower temperatures.
Kondo did the first proper calculation regarding this effect, which showed that in higher ordersof perturbationtheory, the resistance will diverge as the temperature approaches 0 K. Later calculations refined this result to produce afinite resistivity but retained the feature of a resistance minimum at a non-zero temperature.
The Anderson model and accompanying renormalization theory was an important contribution to understanding theunderlying physics of the problem.

In the absence of the Kondo coupling, the conductance of a SET at zero drain-source bias (Vds = 0) is very small, except for values of the gate voltage at which two charge states of the quantum dot are degenerate.
The "Kondo effect" is a large anomalous increase in the resistance of certain dilute alloys of magnetic materials in nonmagnetic hosts as the temperature is lowered.
In general, the Kondo effect occurs when an impurity atom with an unpaired electron is placed in a metal, producing an interaction of localized electrons with delocalized electrons.

One signature of spin effects in condensed matter in general is the Kondo effect, where an isolated spin is correlated with a surrounding electron cloud of opposite spin.
The Kondo effect in a quantum ring is a periodic function of magnetic field.
The reason for this observation is the fact that the Kondo temperature is an exponential function of the interaction strength as well as of the ring-lead coupling.

 Orbital and spin Kondo effects in a double quantum dot
Motivated by recent experiments, in which the Kondo effect has been observed for the first time in a double quantum dot structure, we study electron transport through a system consisting of two ultrasmall, capacitively coupled dots with large level spacing and charging energy.
Due to strong interdot Coulomb correlations, the Kondo effect has two possible sources, the spin and orbital degeneracies, and it is maximized when both occur simultaneously.
The large number of tunable parameters allows a range of manipulations of the Kondo physics -in particular, the Kondo effect in each dot is sensitive to changes in the state of the other dot.

In contrast to previous studies we observe a Kondo effect in high- as well as in low-conductance tiles of the chessboard-like magneto-conductance.
The structure of the Kondo effect in this regime is more complicated than expected for a single unpaired electron with spin 1/2, demonstrating that the electronic state of the dot is governed by many-particle correlations.

The fascinating many-body physics involved in the interaction of a single magnetic impurity with the conduction electrons of its nonmagnetic metallic host is reflected in unconventional phenomena in magnetism, transport properties and the specific heat.
Characteristic low-energy excitations, termed the Kondo resonance, are generally believed to be responsible for this striking behaviour.
In particular, the observed Fano lineshape of the Kondo resonance reveals unambiguously the details of the quantum mechanical interference between the localized orbital and the conduction electrons on an atomic length scale [1, 2].

In particular, one might ask to what extent the Kondo effect in QD`s is sensitive to the presence of ferromagnetic leads or spin flip processes.
By investigating the nonequilibrum transport properties of a QD in the strongly interacting limit, we predict a splitting of the differential conductance when the spin flip scattering amplitude is of the order of the Kondo temperature [1].
Furthermore, we present a numerical renormalization group analysis showing that the Kondo effect survives for nonzero lead polarizations in the regime where charge fluctuations are negligible [2].

Recent spectacular developments in microprobe technology, such as scanning tunneling microscopy or point contact spectroscopy, have opened up the possibility to investigate in detail the Kondo effect of a single magnetic ion embedded in a metallic host.
We discuss different experimental setups, where Kondo correlations are influenced, suppressed or even generated, by spatial restrictions on the metallic host.
Examples are a Kondo ion in a metallic quantum box with discrete conduction levels or a Kondo ion on a metal surface probed by STM spectroscopy.

We study the Kondo effect in quantum dots (QDs) - artificial magnetic impurities - attached to ferromagnetic leads, using the numerical renormalization group method.
We show that the QD level is spin-split due to presence of ferromagnetic electrodes, leading to a suppression of the Kondo effect.
Although the resulting Kondo resonance then has an unusual spin asymmetry with a reduced Kondo temperature, the ground state is still a locally-screened state, describable by Fermi liquid theory and a generalized Friedel sum rule, and transport in the unitary limit is not spin dependent.

1) Gate-confined quantum dots have emerged as important systems for the study of the Kondo effect, a subtle many-electron effect in which conduction electrons in the vicinity of a spin impurity screen the spin to form a collective entangled ground state at low temperatures (1).
The connection between Kondo physics and quantum dots is most evident when an odd number of electrons confined within the dot act as a single spin coupled to electron reservoirs (2-5).
The simplest system exhibiting the richness of this competition, the two-impurity Kondo system, was realized experimentally by the authors in the form of two quantum dots coupled through an open conducting region.
