| Theory of transport through quantum dots and molecules with correlated electrons |
April, 21 (2005) at 15:30 Igor Sandalov There is widely spread and accepted idea to use the transport through the system contact-quantum dot-contact as information flow in future quantum computers and computer memories. This flow should reflect the evolution of quantum states within the dot. These states have not only charge, but, also, magnetic components, what give rise to spintronics, the possibility to use the spin component at the current as an additional channel for writing/reading the information. However, the standard existing approaches are not sufficient for description of the correlated states in quantum dots. The non-trivial aspects of strong electron correlations, which are revealed by new approach, namely, non-orthogonality, non-Fermi statistics and kinematic interactions, are discussed. |
