    Two-stage Kondo effect and Kondo-box level spectroscopy in a carbon nanotube
    (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2010-10-18) Bomze, Y; Borzenets, I; Mebrahtu, H; Makarovski, A; Baranger, HU; Finkelstein, G
    The concept of the "Kondo box" describes a single spin, antiferromagnetically coupled to a quantum dot with a finite level spacing. Here, a Kondo box is formed in a carbon nanotube interacting with a localized electron. We investigate the spins of its first few eigenstates and compare them to a recent theory. In an "open" Kondo-box, strongly coupled to the leads, we observe a nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the nanotube conductance, which results from a competition between the Kondo-box singlet and the "conventional" Kondo state that couples the nanotube to the leads. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
