Spin-charge separation and Kondo effect in an open quantum dot

Abstract

We study a quantum dot connected to the bulk by single-mode junctions at almost perfect conductance. Although the average charge $e⟨N⟩$ of the dot is not discrete, its spin remains quantized: $s=1/2$ or $s=0$, depending (periodically) on the gate voltage. This drastic difference from the conventional mixed-valence regime stems from the existence of a broad-band, dense spectrum of discrete levels in the dot. In the doublet state, the Kondo effect develops at low temperatures. We find the Kondo temperature $T_K$ and the conductance at $T\lesssim T_K$.
