摘要
We investigate the Fano-Kondo interplay in an Aharonov-Bohm ring with an embedded noninteracting quantum dot and a Coulomb interacting quantum dot. Using a slave-boson mean-field approximation we diagonalize the Hamiltonian via scattering matrix theory and derive the conductance in the form of a Fano expression, which depends on the mean-field parameters. We predict that in the Kondo regime the magnetic field leads to a gapped energy level spectrum due to hybridization of the noninteracting QD state and the Kondo state, and can quantum-mechanically alter the electron%26apos;s path preference. We demonstrate that an abrupt symmetry change in the Fano resonance, as seen experimentally, could be a consequence of an underlying Kondo channel.
