Magnetic Field Effects on Transport Through a Strongly Correlated Dot Coupled to Luttinger Leads

The effects of the magnetic field and intralead electron interaction on the transport have been investigated in the Kondo regime by means of the nonequilibrium Green functions with the equation of motion method. The numerical results show that for weak intralead interaction, in addition to the Kondo dip zero bias, the differential conductance shows two peaks separated from the origin by the Zeeman energy. When the intralead interaction becomes moderately strong, the Zeeman splitting peaks turn into Zeeman splitting dips. With the further increase in the intralead interaction, all the dips disappear and the differential conductance is characterized by a power law scaling in bias voltage in the limit of the strong intralead interaction. Our results are valuable for analyzing transport in carbon nanotubes.
