Non-equilibrium quasiparticle distribution in diffusive quantum wires in a magnetic field — •J. Kroha1, J. Paaske2, A. Rosch2, O. Uhsaghy3, P. Wölfle2 und A. Zawadowski31PI, Univ. Bonn — 2TKM, Univ. Karlsruhe — 3Dept. of Physics, TU Budapest

The non-equilibrium distribution function f(E,V) of quasiparticles with energy E in a diffusive quantum wire at bias V has a doublestep shape due to the different chemical potentials in the leads [1]. The Fermi steps display an anomalous rounding whose origin has been identified with a tiny concentration of Kondo impurities (Kondo temperature TK) present in the wire [2]. The magnetic field B dependence of f(E,V), in particular its non-monotonic behavior as B crosses from B<V to B>V, suggests qualitatively the Kondo impurities to be of magnetic origin. However, there is a strong quantitative discrepancy between experiments and theory [3] both concerning the B dependence and the expected Kondo impurity concentration. We generalize the perturbative RG method [4], which was recently developed for a Kondo impurity at finite V and B, to the case of a variable f(E,V) along the wire. We use this method to solve the quantum Boltzmann equation for f(E/eV) in the presence of Kondo impurities in a diffusive quantum wire at large bias VTK and arbitrary B and compare with experiments.
