Transient noise spectra in resonant tunneling setups: Exactly solvable models

Abstract

We investigate the transient evolution of finite-frequency current noise after abrupt switching on of the tunneling coupling in two paradigmatic, exactly solvable models of mesoscopic physics: the resonant level model and the Majorana resonant level model, which emerges as an effective model for a Kondo quantum dot at the Toulouse point. We find a parameter window in which the transient noise can become negative, a property it shares with the transient current. However, in contrast to the transient current, which approaches the steady state exponentially fast, we observe an algebraic decay in time of the transient noise for a system at zero temperature. This behaviour is dominant for characteristic parameter regimes in both models. At finite temperature the decay is altered from an algebraic to an exponential one with a damping constant proportional to temperature.
