Multi-terminal Anderson impurity model in nonequilibrium: Analytical perturbative treatment

Abstract

We study the nonequilibrium spectral function of the single-impurity Anderson model connecting with multi-terminal leads. The full dependence on frequency and bias voltage of the nonequilibrium self-energy and spectral function is obtained analytically up to the second-order perturbation regarding the interaction strength $U$. High and low bias voltage properties are analyzed for a generic multi-terminal dot, showing a crossover from the Kondo resonance to the Coulomb peaks with increasing bias voltage. For a dot where the particle-hole symmetry is not present, we construct a current-preserving evaluation of the nonequilibrium spectral function for arbitrary bias voltage. It is shown that finite bias voltage does not split the Kondo resonance in this order, and no specific structure due to multiple leads emerges. Overall bias dependence is quite similar to finite temperature effect for a dot with or without the particle-hole symmetry.
