Abstract
We calculate the charge transfer probability distribution function chi(lambda) for the Kondo dot in the strong-coupling limit within the framework of the Nozières-Fermi-liquid theory of the Kondo effect. At zero temperature, the ratio of the moments Cn of the charge distribution to the backscattering current Ibs follows a universal law Cn/2Ibs = (-1)n(1+2n)/6. The functional form of chi(lambda) is consistent with tunneling of electrons and, possibly, electron pairs. We then discuss the crossover behavior of chi(lambda) from weak to strong Coulomb repulsion in the underlying Anderson impurity model and relate this to the existing results. Finally, we extend our analysis to the case of finite temperatures.Year: 2006 PMID: 16907393 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.016602
