Electron Transport in T-Shaped
Double Quantum Dot System Using
Non-Equilibrium Green's Function

Department of Physics, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi 110025, India
Electron transport at zero temperature through T-shaped double quantum dot attached to the non-interacting
leads is studied using Keldysh non-equilibrium Green's function technique. Linear conductance profile and dot
occupancies are calculated for various parameters corresponding to non-interacting as well as interacting elec-
trons on the dots. In case of non-interacting electrons, we observe Fano-antiresonance wherein the linear
conductance vanishes (despite occupancies on the dots being finite) whenever the energy level of the quantum
dot not directly attached to the leads, aligns with the Fermi energy of the electrons in the leads at zero-bias.
This is understood in terms of destructive interference between several possible Feynman paths between the
source and the drain. Electron-electron correlation on the dots incorporated via intra dot and interdot interaction
is investigated in Hartree-Fock as well as beyond Hartree-Fock approximation. Results obtained using present
decoupling scheme for Green's functions shows that the intradot interaction on the quantum dot not directly
connected to the leads removes the anti-resonance point and leads to splitting into two dips in the linear con-
ductance profile. Results are compared with the one obtained using Hartee-Fock approximation.

INTRODUCTION
Semiconductor quantum dots are tunable structures characterized
by their discrete energy levels and electron-electron interactions.
It has become possible to control the number of electrons in a
quantum dot precisely down to one. I 1.12 Thus one can use quan-
tum dot as a single electron transistor (SET) where one can mon-
itor and control the dynamics of individual electrons with the
help of gate operations. From fundamental physics point of view
electronic structures involving quantum dots arranged in some
geometry between metallic leads which act as electron source
and drain have become testing bed to investigate the many-
body effects and related phenomena such as Kondo effect, Fano
effect,
I.
14 Anti-resonance effect,S.16 Coulomb Blockade, etc. in
a controlled manner. Quantum dot structures are thus promis-
ing candidate for future wide-ranging nano-technological appli-
cations such as quantum
cornputation.s-?
quantum logic gate.?
The occurrence of zero point in the linear conductance is
called anti-resonance.P'!" The phenomenon is belived to be a
consequence of destructive interference between several possi-
ble Feynman paths." It has been demonstrated in earlier studies
that anti-resonance effect can clearly be understood in non-
interacting electron picture.P'? This, however, does not mean

that mere presence of interactions would washs it away. The elec-
tronic transport features at zero temperature survive qualitatively
over a wide range of temperature.

We, therefore, study zero
temperature linear conductance of the system which is the equi-
librium properties of the double quantum dot system arranged
in such a way that only one of the quantum dot is directly
attached to the leads and the other dot is tunnel coupled to the
first dot (T-shaped arrangement). Double quantum dot (DQD) in
T-shaped geometry can be regarded as a single electron transis-
tor (SET) with one of the dot attached directly to the leads and
the other dot considered as an impurity dot which may arise in
practice due to defect in fabrication.!? In this system we exam-
ine the effect of electron interactions on the linear conductance
profile of the system and on the anti-resonance point.

Eq. (4) can be

The retarded Green's function defined as

In Keldysh's non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, the
equation of motion is developed by differentiating Eq. (6) which
generates higher order Green's functions due many-body terms
present in the Hamiltonian. On writing the equation of motion
of the new Green's functions further generates hierarchy of new
Green's functions. At some stage higher order Green's functions
are approximated in order to close the set of equations for the
Green's functions. In our calculation, we have kept all Green's
functions containing upto four fermionic operators as they are
and the higher order Green's functions in the mean-field approxi-
mation. We obtain a closed set of eight equations for G~u
(w)
and
similar eight equations for G

The e sixteen equations are
calculated in a self-consistent way to obtain linear conductance
and dot occupancies.
If many-body term are not present in the Hamiltonian, then

3. NUMERICAL RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We can calculate linear conductance of the system using Eq. (3)
as a function of quantum dot levels. Experimentally it is pos-
sible to tune the quantum dot levels separately by applying a
gate voltage to each of the quantum dots. In this present work
we, therefore, investigate how the linear conductance varies when
one or both of the quantum dot levels are individually or simul-
taneously tuned. Our purpose is to explore how the quantum
mechanical tunnelling and the many-body interaction change the
linear conductance profile of the double quantum dot system. We
therefore consider both the non-interacting and the interacting
cases separately. Numerical calculations are carried out for the
paramagnetic case implying (n )
=
(n-) and er
=
G';
If the
system is in equilibrium i.e., :hen th~"transpo~" prop~~ies are
calculated in zero-bias limit, occupancies of the quantum dots
can be calculated at zero temperature using the relation
In the results presented below we choose the tunnelling strength
1 as our unit of energy and take
I'
=
21 in the strong coupling
regime. In contrast to the weak coupling regime where sharp res-
onant peak features of the conductance profile coincide with the
eigenenergies of the isolated double quantum dot
10.13
in strong
coupling regime resonant peak features disappear because cou-
pling to the leads causes dot-level broadening. Since the linear
conductance is related to the equilibrium properties of the sys-
tern," we take the Fermi energies of the source and the drain
leads to be the same and all energies in the system are mea-
sured with reference to the Fermi energy set to zero. In present
calculation we consider various cases as follows.

For the sake of reference we begin our analysis by considering
the non-interacting case i.e., when there is no interdot or intradot
Coulomb interactions on either of the dot. The Green's func-
tion for the system is then exactly known as given in Eq. (8).
In Figure 2 we observe that when the energy level of dot-2 is
varied the linear conductance vanishes at 1'2

resonance point.

the occupancy of dot-I. even though dot-I is directly connected

classically expect that the occupancy of dot-I be more than that
of dot-Z. This apparent anomaly is due to the quantum mechani-
cal tunnelling which is contrary to the classical picture. It is also
observed that occupancy of dot-I increases slightly about zero
point whereas the occupancy of dot-2 exhibits a sharp decreases
with increasing dot-2 energy 1'2' The fact that the dot occupancies

interference between the two paths electrons can take through
from source to drain either via dot-I without visiting dot-2 or via
dot-2 through tunneling." We now consider various situations in

Figure 4, shows the linear conductance calculated by incorporat-
ing many-body interaction within Hartree-Fock approximation.
We observe that the intradot Coulomb interaction on dot-2 does
not remove occurrence of anti-resonance point in the linear con-
ductance and resembles qualitatively with the non-interacting
case as shown in Figure 2. This is due to the fact that within
Hartree-Fock approx.imation the Hamiltonian is effectively non-
interacting with single-particle energy levels renormalised as

Figure 5, shows the effect of interdot interaction incorporated
within Hartree-Fock approximation. We observe that with inter-
dot interaction the anti-resonance point survivs though it shifts to
lower values of dot-2 energy level below the Fermi energy. This
due to the fact that the interdot interaction incorporated within
the Hartree-Fock approximation leaves the form of Green's func-
tion invariant as non-interacting case in Eq. (8). The zero point in

present in the Hamiltonian contributes finitely and
also causes the split in the dips. Hence it is the many-body inter-
action which causes removal of anti-resonance point in the linear
conductance profile of the double quantum dot system.
The intradot interaction on dot-2 mainly affects linear con-
ductance when dot-2 level lies below Fermi energy. The linear
conductance profile remains qualitatively unaffected when dot-2
level is tuned above the Fermi energy. The dot-I energy level
does not affect the position of dips as shown for three values of
dot-I energy level, regardless of whether it is set above or below
the Fermi energy. This is in contrast with the results obtained by
incorporating many-body interaction at Hartree-Fock level shown

In Figure 7, we have plotted linear conductance of double quan-
tum dot system as a function of dot-2 energy level E2 for the
case when intradot Coulomb interaction is present on both the
dots keeping other parameters same as in the Section (3.3) when
Coulomb interaction was present only on dot-2. We observe
that though the conductance profile changes slightly, the posi-
tion of two dips and the peak remain unaffected as for the case
when Coulomb interaction was present only on dot-2 shown in
Figure 6. The intradot Coulomb interactions enhances the depth
of the two dips and height of the peak. The linear conductance
reduce when dot-2 level lies far below the Fermi level. The
linear conductance profile of the system remains qualitatively

3.5. The Effect of Interdot Interaction
In Figure 9, we plot linear conductance of the double quan-
tum dot system as a function of dot-2 energy level E2 for the
case when both interdot and intradot interactions are present. We
observe that the interdot interaction, unlike intradot interaction
on dot-2
U

causes no further split in the dips, but enhances the
peak height between the two dips. It is interesting to note that
the position of one of the dips lying about E2
=
EF
=
0 remains
unchanged as was in the case when the interdot interaction was
not present given in Section (3.3). The interdot interaction causes
a significant shift in the position of the other dip towards the
lower values of dot-2 energy level below the Fermi energy. This
is due to the fact that the intradot interaction on dot-2 gets renor-
malized in the presence of interdot interaction.!" Interdot inter-
action also causes the downward shift in the linear conductance
profile when dot-2 level lies below the Fermi level. The interdot
interaction causes no significant change in the linear conductance
profile when dot-2 level is tuned above the Fermi level.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The effect of electron--electron interaction on the linear con-
ductance profile of double quantum dot system in
T
-shaped
geometry is studied employing non-equilibrium Green's func-
tion in Keldysh formalism in a situation with strong coupling
with the leads. In the non-interacting case the linear conduc-
tance vanishes at a point called anti-resonance point which is
the consequence of desctructive interference between different
Feynman paths electron can take between source and drain.
It is shown that the intradot and interdot interactions incorpo-
rated within Hartree-Fock approximation, do not cause removal
of anti-resonance point present in the linear conductance pro-
file of the non-interacting system but only causes shifting of

anti-resonance point to lower energies below the Fermi energy.
The many-body interaction incorporated beyond Hartree-Fock
approximation reveals that the intradot interaction on the dot-2
causes removal of anti-resonance point and also the splitting
of anti-resonance valley into two Coulomb dips occuring due
to destructive interference separated by ondot Coulomb strength

on dot-2 due to Coulomb blockade. The interdot interac-
tion causes shifting of only one of the two dips lying below
the Fermi energy. The many-body interactions causes significant
variation in the linear conductance profile, necessitating higher
order approximations to incorporate when the electron-electron
interaction becomes strong.
