Temperature dependence of Fano line shapes in a weakly coupled single-electron transistor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the temperature dependence of the zero-bias conductance of a single-electron transistor in the regime of weak coupling between the quantum dot and the leads. The Fano line shape, convoluted with thermal broadening, provides a good fit to the observed asymmetric Coulomb charging peaks. However, the width of the peaks increases more rapidly than expected from the thermal broadening of the Fermi distribution in a temperature range for which Fano interference is unaffected. The intrinsic width of the resonance extracted from the fits increases approximately quadratically with temperature. Above about 600 mK the asymmetry of the peaks decreases, suggesting that phase coherence necessary for Fano interference is reduced.

We study the zero-bias conductance through the system of two quantum dots, one of which is embedded directly between the source and drain electrodes, while the second dot is side coupled to the first one through a tunneling junction. Modeling the system using the two impurity Anderson model, we compute the temperature dependence of the conductance in various parameter regimes using the numerica...

We report a numerical renormalization-group study of the thermoelectric effect in the single-electron transistor (SET) and side-coupled geometries. As expected, the computed thermal conductance and thermopower curves show signatures of the Kondo effect and of Fano interference. The thermopower curves are also affected by particle-hole asymmetry.
