Resumo: | ||||||||
In this thesis we investigate the effects of the eletron-
eletron interaction
on the transport properties of nanosystems. In particular,
we study systems
constituted by two quantum dots conected to leads, in
different topologies.
Our main interest is to study the effects of the Kondo
regime and the
electronic phase on the conductance. In the configuration
where the two
dots are inserted in each arm of a ring threaded by a
magnetic flux, denoted
by PPL, we calculate the phases of the currents going along
each arm of the
ring. These phases are determined by the Aharonov-Bohm
effect combined
with the dots many body charging effects. This system
presents the Kondo
phenomenon for an even number (two) of electrons in the
dots, in agreement
with experimental results1. An interesting aspect of PPL
configuration is
that, even in the absence of magnetic flux there can be a
circulating current
around the ring, depending on the system parameters. In the
two other
topologies we consider the two quantum dots coupled through
tunneling
interaction. In one of them, denoted by PAL, the two dots
are aligned
with the leads, and in the other, the PPD configuration,
one dot is inserted
into the leads while the other interacts only with the
first. In the weak
coupling limit these two configurations present quite
different features, not
only on the dependence of the conductance on the gate
potencials applied to
the dots, but also on the dots spin correlation. Both
configurations present
Kondo resonance for an even number electrons. In the PAL
configuration the
spins of the charged dots are uncorrelated, while in the
PPD configuration
they are ferromagnetically correlated. In the strong
tunneling coupling
limit the transport properties of two interacting dot
configurations are very
similar. The systems discussed above are represented by an
Anderson two-
impurity first-neighbor tight-binding Hamiltonian, that is
solved by exactly
diagonalizing a cluster that is embebed into the rest of
the system. In this
way we obtain only the properties of the system at T = 0.
In order to study
temperature dependence phenomena we use the equation of
motion method
(EOM) in the limit of infinite Coulomb repulsion. We apply
it to the dots
in the PPD topology. The results for low temperatures are
consistent with hose obtained with the cluster method.
