HIGHLIGHT

We calculate the expansion coefficients for SU( N) symmetric quantum dots with N=4 and N=6, using the numerical renormalization group across a wide range of electron fillings, and clarify the contribution of three-body Fermi-liquid effects emerging in the Kondo states at electron-hole asymmetric integer-filling points and in the valence fluctuation region.

ABSTRACT

We study the effects of bias and tunneling asymmetries on the nonlinear current through a quantum dot with N discrete levels in the Fermi liquid regime, using an exact low-energy expansion based on the Anderson impurity model [1]. The expansion coefficients, obtained up to terms of order V 3 in powers of the bias voltage, are described in terms of the phase shift, the linear susceptibilities, and the three-body correlation functions, defined with respect to the equilibrium ground state. When the system does not have the electron-hole and the time-reversal symmetries, the three-body correlations play an essential role in the order V 3 nonlinear current that depends significantly on the bias and tunnel asymmetries. We calculate the expansion coefficients for SU( N) symmetric quantum dots with N=4 and N=6, using the numerical renormalization group across a wide range of electron fillings, and clarify the contribution of three-body Fermi-liquid effects emerging in the Kondo states at electron-hole asymmetric integer-filling points and in the valence fluctuation region.
