Quantum Transport and Integrability of the Anderson Model for a Quantum Dot with Multiple Leads
We show that an Anderson Hamiltonian describing a quantum dot connected to
multiple leads is integrable. A general expression for the non-linear
conductance is obtained by combining the Bethe ansatz exact solution with
Landauer-B\"uttiker theory. In the Kondo regime, a closed form expression is
given for the matrix conductance at zero temperature and when all the leads are
close to the symmetric point. A bias-induced splitting of the Kondo resonance
is possible for three or more leads. Specifically, for leads, with each at
a different chemical potential, there can be Kondo peaks in the
conductance.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
