The fingerprint of the Kondo effect in quantum dots is a peak of enhanced conductance at zero bias, the so-called zero bias anomaly. We examine experimentally the influence of magnetic fields on this zero bias peak. The measurements were performed in an 3He/4He dilution refrigerator with a base temperature of about 20 mK. A magnetic field B up to 6 T was applied parallel as well as perpendicular to the sample surface.
In a perpendicular magnetic field we analyze the splitting of the Kondo resonance in the so-called Kondo chessboard. Here a decrease of the splitting width with increasing magnetic field is observed. The data is compared to numerical renormalization group calculations by Hewson et al.[1], which show the relation between the effective splitting of the zero bias anomaly and B/TK. Thereby we can show, that the quantum Hall effect in the two-dimensional leads affects the Kondo temperature and therefore the splitting of the zero bias anomaly.
