摘要:

我们计算了一个量子点的热电势,该量子点由两个二重态和两个简并带组成,轨道(带)和自旋量子数守恒,它是温度$T$和破坏SU(4)对称性的量子点能级分裂$δ$的函数.分裂可以被认为是塞曼(自旋)或谷(轨道)分裂。对于大的$δ$,我们采用了无交叉近似(NCA)、平均场近似中的从玻色子(SBMFA)和数值重整化群(NRG)。该模型描述了运输通过干净的碳纳米管%与弱无序和硅鳍型场效应晶体管,在施加的磁场。作为温度函数的热电势$S(T)$显示出两个与近藤温度$T_K$和$δ$给出的能量标度相对应的下降,以及当$k_BT$达到电荷转移能量时的一个峰值。这些特征比电导中的相应特征显著得多,表明热电势是中能量或高能量下电子结构的更灵敏的探针。在低温下($T \ll T_K$),$T_K S(T)/T$是一个常数,在简并点$δ=0$附近强烈增加。我们发现,SBMFA未能提供一个准确的描述大$δ$的热电势。相反,费米液体关系与NCA中计算的量子点占据的组合给出了$T \ll T_K$的可靠结果。

英文摘要:

We calculate the thermopower of a quantum dot described by two doublets hybridized with two degenerate bands of two conducting leads, conserving orbital (band) and spin quantum numbers, as a function of the temperature $T$ and a splitting $δ$ of the quantum dot levels which breaks the SU(4) symmetry. The splitting can be regarded as a Zeeman (spin) or valley (orbital) splitting. We use the non-crossing approximation (NCA), the slave bosons in the mean-field approximation (SBMFA) and also the numerical renormalization group (NRG) for large $δ$. The model describes transport through clean C nanotubes %with weak disorder and in Si fin-type field effect transistors, under an applied magnetic field. The thermopower as a function of temperature $S(T)$ displays two dips that correspond to the energy scales given by the Kondo temperature $T_K$ and $δ$ and one peak when $k_BT$ reaches the charge-transfer energy. These features are much more pronounced than the corresponding ones in the conductance, indicating that the thermopower is a more sensitive probe of the electronic structure at intermediate or high energies. At low temperatures ($T \ll T_K$) $T_K S(T)/T$ is a constant that increases strongly near the degeneracy point $δ=0$. We find that the SBMFA fails to provide an accurate description of the thermopower for large $δ$. Instead, a combination of Fermi liquid relations with the quantum-dot occupations calculated within the NCA gives reliable results for $T \ll T_K$.
