The Kondo effect in a single-electron transistor
The Kondo effect, which occurs when a metal with magnetic impurities is cooled to low temperatures, has been a focus of research in solid-state physics for several decades. I have designed, fabricated, and measured a system which behaves as a single "artificial" impurity in a metal, displaying the …

Theoretical study of Kondo effect and related transport properties in topological insulator systems
This thesis presents theoretical studies of the Kondo effect and related transport properties in topological insulator systems. The thesis mainly covers two topics: the Kondo effect on the surface of a bulk topological insulator material and the Kondo effect in a topological insulator quantum dot. …

Spin effects in single-electron transistors
… inelastic cotunneling thresholds, the spin-1/2 Kondo effect, and Fano interference. With a magnetic field parallel to the motion of the electrons, single-particle energy levels undergo Zeeman splitting according to their spin. The g-factor describing this splitting is extracted in the spin-flip …

The diagramatical solution of the two-impurity Kondo problem
The problem of the two-impurity Kondo problem is studied via the perturbative diagrammatical method. The high-temperature magnetic susceptibility is calculated to fourth order in the coupling constant J for different regimes. The integral equations for the ground state energy are established and …

Quantum phenomena in disordered conductors
… theory of size and disorder dependence in the Kondo effect. We demonstrate that for a thin film of thickness L with mean-free path £, disorder provides a correction to the Kondo resistivity of the form T~ / (kFL£2 ) ln T that explains the disorder-induced depression of the Kondo effect observed …
