Scaling and Decoherence in the Out-of-Equilibrium Kondo Model

arXiv:cond-mat/0410341 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.056602

Abstract

We study the Kondo effect in quantum dots in an out-of-equilibrium state due to an applied dc-voltage bias. Using the method of infinitesimal unitary transformations (flow equations), we develop a perturbative scaling picture that naturally contains both equilibrium coherent and non-equilibrium decoherence effects. This framework allows one to study the competition between Kondo effect and current-induced decoherence, and it establishes a large regime dominated by single-channel Kondo physics for asymmetrically coupled quantum dots.
