Kondo Effect in Non-Equilibrium

Theory of energy relaxation induced by dynamical defects in diffusive nanowires

  • Chapter
Kondo Effect and Dephasing in Low-Dimensional Metallic Systems

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 50))

Abstract

Recently, it has become possible to determine experimentally [1, 2] the distribution function of quasiparticles, f x (E,U), in dependence of the particle energy E in a metallic, diffusive nanowire in stationary nonequilibrium with a finite transport voltage U applied between the ends of the wire. The measurements were done by attaching an additional superconducting tunneling electrode at a position x along the wire, so that f x (E, U) could be extracted from the tunneling current

$$ {j_{t}} = \frac{e}{h}\gamma {N_{0}}\int {dE\left[ {{f_{x}}\left( {E,U} \right) - {f^{ \circ }}\left( {E + e{U_{t}}} \right)} \right]{N_{{BCS}}}\left( {E + e{U_{t}}} \right).} $$
