We investigate a tunable two-impurity Kondo system in a strongly correlated carbon nanotube double quantum dot, accessing the full range of charge regimes. In the regime where both dots contain an unpaired electron, the system approaches the two-impurity Kondo model. At zero magnetic field the interdot coupling disrupts the Kondo physics and a local singlet state arises, but we are able to tune the crossover to a Kondo screened phase by application of a magnetic field. All results show good agreement with a numerical renormalization group study of the device.
我们研究了强关联碳纳米管双量子点中的可调谐双杂质 Kondo 系统,该系统可用于研究全电荷态范围。在两个量子点都含有一个未配对电子的区域,系统接近双杂质 Kondo 模型。在零磁场下,量子点间的耦合破坏了 Kondo 物理,出现了局域 singlet 态,但我们能够通过施加磁场来调整到 Kondo 屏蔽相的转变。所有结果都与该器件的数值重整化群研究吻合较好。
