The Kondo model in nonequilibrium: Decoherence, current, and noise — Thomas Korb1, •Frank Reininghaus1, Herbert Schoeller1, and Jürgen König2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik A, RWTH Aachen, 52056 Aachen, Germany — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44780 Bochum, Germany
We study the Kondo effect in nonequilibrium using the real-time renormalization group [1] and put special emphasis on the calculation of the decoherence rate Γ. We obtain expressions for the current and the finite-frequency noise which are valid for voltages V ≫ TK. While the decoherence rate cannot be detected by measuring the current in a two-terminal setup, which was calculated previously using other methods [2,3], we demonstrate that the frequency dependence of the noise has features which allow the identification of Γ.
