Investigation of the competition between Kondo effect and RKKY interaction in a double quantum dot system |
| 要旨(英語) |
In strongly correlated many-electron systems, it is generally difficult to treat hundreds to thousands of electrons quantum mechanically with high precision and to calculate their physical quantities accurately.
However, for the Kondo effect involving a single localized spin, a highly accurate computational method has been established using the Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG).
This suggests that a strongly correlated electron system could, in principle, be modeled quantum mechanically by considering each Kondo cloud as a fundamental building block.
The minimal structural unit in such a model is the Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) interaction between two localized spins.
Nevertheless, when the number of conduction electrons is large, no quantitative analytical method for describing the RKKY interaction has yet been fully established.
In this presentation, I introduce an experiment that observes the competition between the Kondo effect and the RKKY interaction in heavy-fermion systems, utilizing a semiconductor nanostructure in which the quantum state of conduction electrons can be controlled at the single-electron level.
The Kondo state is a spatially extended quantum-coherent state formed by conduction electrons surrounding a localized spin, within which the localized spin is completely screened by the conduction electrons.
In contrast, the RKKY interaction is an indirect exchange interaction between localized spins mediated by conduction electrons, functioning as a long-range spin–spin coupling.
When Kondo clouds overlap, the Kondo effect and the RKKY interaction compete with each other.
The experiment presented here directly observes this competition using a system composed of two quantum dots coupled through a quantum wire. |
