共隧道区中非弹性电子从量子点散射:介观斯通纳不稳定性的特征

Inelastic electron scattering off a quantum dot in the cotunneling regime: the signature of mesoscopic Stoner instability

E. V. Repin, I. S. Burmistrov

摘要:

我们研究了电子在接近Stoner不稳定性的量子点上的非弹性散射截面。我们专注于政权的强库仑阻塞,其中散射截面占主导地位的共隧穿过程。对于足够大的交换相互作用,量子点在基态获得有限的总自旋。在这种所谓的介观斯通纳不稳定性中,我们发现在足够低的温度下,相对于化学势具有低能量的电子的非弹性散射截面(包括弹性电子自旋翻转的贡献)不同于具有相同自旋的磁性杂质的情况。这种差异源于(i)量子点的低多体态的存在和(ii)隧穿振幅的相关性。我们的结果为最近的实验中低温失相速率饱和现象的出现提供了一个可能的解释。Teneh,A. Yu. Kuntsevich,V. M. Pudalov和M. Reznikov,Phys. Rev. Lett. 109,226403(2012)],其中已经揭示了无序电子液体中局部自旋液滴的存在。

英文摘要:

We explore the inelastic electron scattering cross section off a quantum dot close to the Stoner instability. We focus on the regime of strong Coulomb blockade in which the scattering cross section is dominated by the cotunneling processes. For large enough exchange interaction the quantum dot acquires a finite total spin in the ground state. In this, so-called mesoscopic Stoner instability, regime we find that at low enough temperatures the inelastic scattering cross section (including the contribution due to an elastic electron spin-flip) for an electron with a low energy with respect to the chemical potential is different from the case of a magnetic impurity with the same spin. This difference stems from (i) presence of a low-lying many-body states of a quantum dot and (ii) the correlations of the tunneling amplitudes. Our results provide a possible explanation for absence of the dephasing rate saturation at low temperatures in recent experiment [N. Teneh, A. Yu. Kuntsevich, V. M. Pudalov, and M. Reznikov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 226403 (2012)] in which existence of local spin droplets in disordered electron liquid has been unraveled.
