Tunneling zero-bias anomaly in the quasiballistic regime
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the tunneling density of states ~DOS! of the interacting electron gas beyond the diffusive limit. A strong correction to the DOS persists even at electron energies exceeding the inverse transport relaxation time, which could not be expected from the well-known Altshuler-Aronov-Lee ~AAL! theory. This correction originates from the interference between the electron waves scattered by an impurity and by the Friedel oscillation this impurity creates. Account for such processes also revises the AAL formula for the DOS in the diffusive limit. @S0163-1829~97!09615-X#

Zero-bias anomaly and kondo-assisted quasiballistic 2D transport.
Nonequilibrium transport measurements in mesoscopic quasiballistic 2D electron systems show an enhancement in the differential conductance around the Fermi energy. At very low temperatures, such a zero-bias anomaly splits, leading to a suppression of linear transport at low energies. We also observed a scaling of the nonequilibrium characteristics at low energies which resembles electron scatte...
متن کاملTunneling into multiwalled carbon nanotubes: coulomb blockade and the Fano resonance.
Tunneling spectroscopy measurements of single tunnel junctions formed between multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and a normal metal are reported. Intrinsic Coulomb interactions in the MWNTs give rise to a strong zero-bias suppression of a tunneling density of states that can be fitted numerically to the environmental quantum-fluctuation theory. An asymmetric conductance anomaly near zero bias...
متن کاملZero-bias anomaly in CrO2 junctions
– CrO2 thin films, with crystallites of several microns size, provide the opportunity for the investigation of the intergrain tunneling between a few crystals separated by a 1–2 nm thick Cr2O3 film. A pronounced zero-bias anomaly of the conductance is found at low temperatures. Combined photoemission and inverse photoemission temperature-dependent studies confirm the occurrence of Coulomb block...
متن کاملTheory of the zero-bias anomaly in magnetic tunnel junctions: Inelastic tunneling via impurities
Using the closed-time path-integral approach, we nonperturbatively study inelastic tunneling of electrons via magnetic impurities in the barrier accompanied by phonon emission in a magnetic tunnel junction. The spectrum density of phonon emission is found to show a power-law infrared singularity ,v−s1−gd with g the dimensionless electron-phonon coupling. As a consequence, the tunneling conducta...
متن کاملTransport across an Anderson quantum dot in the intermediate coupling regime
We describe linear and nonlinear transport across a strongly interacting single impurity Anderson model quantum dot with intermediate coupling to the leads, i.e. with tunnel coupling Γ of the order of the thermal energy kBT . The coupling is large enough that sequential tunneling processes (second order in the tunneling Hamiltonian) alone do not suffice to properly describe the transport charac...
