โฆ Synopsis
Nonlinear electron transport through a semiconductor quantum dot in the low-temperature Kondo regime is studied theoretically. Particular emphasis is put on examining the effects of the inherent multilevel electronic structure of the semiconductor dot. Combining the nonequilibrium Green function method with the noncrossing approximation, we derived differential conductance as a function of the source-drain voltage and found that characteristic side peaks appear in addition to the Kondo peak. These side peaks, which survive dissipation broadening, should provide a hallmark of Kondo correlation in this system.

The magnetoresistance of electrons in a two-dimensional array of dots has been investigated. The new commensurability oscillations were found when \(2 \mathrm{R}_{L}=\mathrm{d}\) and \(2 R_{L}=\mathrm{d} / 2\). The closed electron trajectories skipping inside the dot are responsible for these oscill
The electron transport through a quantum-wire system in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields is investigated theoretically. The system consists of two parallel quantum wires coupled by two ballistic windows, while the magnetic fields applied are uniform and equal in the two wires but vanish
