The large, level-dependent g-factors in an InSb nanowire quantum dot allow for the occurrence of a variety of level crossings in the dot. While we observe the standard conductance enhancement in the Coulomb blockade region for aligned levels with different spins due to the Kondo effect, a vanishing of the conductance is found at the alignment of levels with equal spins. This conductance suppression appears as a canyon cutting through the web of direct tunneling lines and an enclosed Coulomb blockade region. In the center of the Coulomb blockade region, we observe the predicted correlation-induced resonance, which now turns out to be part of a larger scenario. Our findings are supported by numerical and analytical calculations.

Electron tunneling through a two stage Kondo system constituted by a double quantum-dot molecule side coupled to a quantum wire, under the effect of a finite external potential is studied. We found that $I$-$V$ characteristic shows a negative differential conductance region induced by the electronic correlation. This phenomenon is a consequence of the properties of the two stage Kondo regime under the effect of an external applied potential that takes the system out of equilibrium. The problem is solved using the mean-field finite-$U$ slave-boson formalism.
The zero-temperature conductance of diatomic molecule, modelled as a correlated double quantum dot attached to noninteracting leads is investigated. We utilize the Rejec-Ramsak formulas, relating the linear-response conductance to the ground-state energy dependence on magnetic flux within the framework of EDABI method, which combines exact diagonalization with ab initio calculations. The single-particle basis renormalization leads to a strong particle-hole asymmetry, of the conductance spectrum, absent in a standard parametrized model study. We also show, that the coupling to leads V=0.5t (t is the hopping integral) may provide the possibility for interatomic distance manipulation due to the molecule instability.
We study non-equilibrium differential conductance and current fluctuations in a single quantum point contact. The two-terminal electrical transport properties -- differential conductance and shot noise -- are measured at 1.5 K as a function of the drain-source voltage and the Schottky split-gate voltage. In differential conductance measurements, conductance plateaus appear at integer multiples of $2e^2/h$ when the drain-source voltage is small, and the plateaus evolve to a fractional of $2e^2/h$ as the drain-source voltage increases. Our shot noise measurements correspondingly show that the shot noise signal is highly suppressed at both the integer and the non-integer conductance plateaus. This main feature can be understood by the induced electrostatic potential model within a single electron picture. In addition, we observe the 0.7 structure in the differential conductance and the suppressed shot noise around 0.7 ($2e^2/h$); however, the previous single-electron model cannot explain the 0.7 structure and the noise suppression, suggesting that this characteristic relates to the electron-electron interactions.
We study transport of non-interacting electrons through two quantum dot molecules embedded in an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. The system in equilibrium exhibits bound states in the continuum (BIC) and total suppression of transmission. It also shows a magnetic flux-dependent effective level attraction and lines of perfect transmission when the intramolecular coupling is weak. Out of equilibrium, the current displays two kind of negative differential conductance (NDC) regions, which have different origins. One is generated by the usual mechanism of the NDC arising in a double quantum dot system. The other is induced by the magnetic flux, and it occurs at small voltages and for a well definite range of the intramolecular couplings. We explain this effect in terms of the level attraction displayed by the system.
We revisited the scaling behavior of the transport properties of a quantum dot system described by the spin-1/2 Anderson model using analytical methods. In the low temperature limit we show that the conductance has a universal behavior with universality between temperature and bias. We compare this result with the empirical formula used to fit the experimental data for conductance in the case of the equilibrium transport through a single channel quantum dot. In the high temperature limit the conductance obtained from the Anderson model is compared with previous results obtained from the Kondo model. The universal behavior is present also in the high temperature limit. These results are in good agreement with the Renormalization group calculations.
