Scanning Tunneling Shot Noise Spectroscopy in Kondo Systems
arXiv:1906.02553 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.125146
Abstract
Using a large-N theory in combination with the Keldysh non-equilibrium Greens function formalism, we investigate the current, differential conductance, zero-frequency shot-noise and Fano factor as measured by scanning tunneling shot noise spectroscopy (STSNS) using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) near single Kondo impurities and in Kondo lattices. We show that the Fano factor exhibits a characteristic bias dependence arising from Kondo screening that is similar to the Kondo resonance observed in the differential conductance. Moreover, the lineshape of is strongly dependent on the ratio of the tunneling amplitudes for electron tunneling from the STM tip into the conduction band and electronic levels of the magnetic adatoms. We demonstrate that the Fano factor can be enhanced or suppressed due to interference effects and as such, is not only a sensitive probe for the correlation effects arising from Kondo screening, but also for quantum interference between tunneling electrons. We identify a correlation between the form of the differential conductance and the Fano factor that could be tested in future STSNS experiments.
