Shot noise in resonant tunneling through an interacting quantum dot with intradot spin-flip scattering
In this paper, we present theoretical investigation of the zero-frequency
shot noise spectra in electron tunneling through an interacting quantum dot
connected to two ferromagnetic leads with possibility of spin-flip scattering
between the two spin states by means of the recently developed bias-voltage and
temperature dependent quantum rate equations. For this purpose, a
generalization of the traditional generation-recombination approach is made for
properly taking into account the coherent superposition of electronic states,
i.e., the nondiagonal density matrix elements. Our numerical calculations find
that the Fano factor increases with increasing the polarization of the two
leads, but decreases with increasing the intradot spin-flip scattering.Comment: Some typos correction. 6 pages, 3 figures, based on work presented at

Super-Poissonian shot noise in the resonant tunneling due to coupling with a localized level
We report our studies of the shot noise spectrum in tunneling through an
interacting quantum dot when an additional single-level quantum dot without
tunnel coupling to leads is coherently side-connected to it. We show that the
zero-frequency shot noise could reach a super-Poissonian value for appropriate
ratios between dot-dot hoppings and dot-lead couplings, but the current is
independent on the hopping. Moreover, the frequency spectrum of shot noise
shows an obvious peak at the Rabi frequency, which is controllable by tuning
the dot-lead couplings.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, Appl. Phys. Lett.(in press
Magnetic-flux-controlled giant Fano factor for the coherent tunneling through a parallel double-quantum-dot
We report our studies of zero-frequency shot noise in tunneling through a
parallel-coupled quantum dot interferometer by employing number-resolved
quantum rate equations. We show that the combination of quantum interference
effect between two pathways and strong Coulomb repulsion could result in a
giant Fano factor, which is controllable by tuning the enclosed magnetic flux.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
Quantum Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Through Loop Quadratic Contributions
Based on two postulations that (i) the Higgs boson has a large bare mass GeV at the characteristic energy scale which defines
the standard model (SM) in the ultraviolet region, and (ii) quadratic
contributions of Feynman loop diagrams in quantum field theories are physically
meaningful, we show that the SM electroweak symmetry breaking is induced by the
quadratic contributions from loop effects. As the quadratic running of Higgs
mass parameter leads to an additive renormalization, which distinguishes from
the logarithmic running with a multiplicative renormalization, the symmetry
breaking occurs once the sliding energy scale moves from down to a
transition scale at which the additive renormalized Higgs
mass parameter gets to change the sign. With the input of
current experimental data, this symmetry breaking energy scale is found to be
GeV, which provides another basic energy scale for the
SM besides . Studying such a symmetry breaking mechanism could play an
important role in understanding both the hierarchy problem and naturalness
problem. It also provides a possible way to explore the experimental
implications of the quadratic contributions as lies within the
probing reach of the LHC and the future Great Collider.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, published versio
Pumped spin-current and shot noise spectra in a single quantum dot
We exploit the pumped spin-current and current noise spectra under
equilibrium condition in a single quantum dot connected to two normal leads, as
an electrical scheme for detection of the electron spin resonance (ESR) and
decoherence. We propose spin-resolved quantum rate equations with correlation
functions in Laplace-space for the analytical derivation of the zero-frequency
atuo- and cross-shot noise spectra of charge- and spin-current. Our results
show that in the strong Coulomb blockade regime, ESR-induced spin flip
generates a finite spin-current and the quantum partition noises in the absence
of net charge transport. Moreover, spin shot noise is closely related to the
magnetic Rabi frequency and decoherence and would be a sensitive tool to
measure them.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. Lette
