Quantum phase transitions in the systems of parallel quantum dots
arXiv:0711.4884 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.76.241305
Abstract
We study the low-temperature transport properties of the systems of parallel quantum dots described by the N-impurity Anderson model. We calculate the quasiparticle scattering phase shifts, spectral functions and correlations as a function of the gate voltage for N up to 5. For any N, the conductance at the particle-hole symmetric point is unitary. For N >= 2, a transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic impurity spin correlations occurs at some gate voltage. For N >= 3, there is an additional transition due to an abrupt change in average impurity occupancy. For odd N, the conductance is discontinuous through both quantum phase transitions, while for even N only the magnetic transition affects the conductance. Similar effects should be experimentally observable in the systems of quantum dots with ferromagnetic conduction-band-mediated inter-dot exchange interactions.
