Universal scaling in nonequilibrium transport through an Anderson impurity

Using nonequilibrium renormalized perturbation theory, we calculate the conductance G as a function of temperature T and bias voltage V for an Anderson model suitable for describing transport properties through a quantum dot. For renormalized parameters that correspond to the extreme Kondo limit, we...

Description
Summary:Using nonequilibrium renormalized perturbation theory, we calculate the conductance G as a function of temperature T and bias voltage V for an Anderson model suitable for describing transport properties through a quantum dot. For renormalized parameters that correspond to the extreme Kondo limit, we do not find a simple scaling formula beyond a quadratic dependence in T and V. However, if valence fluctuations are allowed, we find excellent agreement with recent experiments.
