Dynamic response of a spin-1/2 Kondo singlet

arXiv:1304.0037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.125151

Abstract

We present a study of spin 1/2 Kondo singlets in single electron transistors under a microwave frequency bias excitation. We compare time-averaged conductance to predicted universal response with respect to microwave frequency, oscillation amplitude and the Kondo temperature and find a non-adiabatic response when the microwave photon energy is comparable to the Kondo temperature . We show that our measurements are qualitatively consistent with the predictions for the radiation-induced decoherence rate of the Kondo spin.
