dc.descriptionThe Kondo effect in coupled quantum dots is investigated theoretically under magnetic fields. We show that the magnetoconductance (MC) illustrates peak structures of the Kondo resonant spectra. When the dot-dot tunneling coupling $V_C$ is smaller than the dot-lead coupling $Δ$ (level broadening), the Kondo resonant levels appear at the Fermi level ($E_F$). The Zeeman splitting of the levels weakens the Kondo effect, which results in a negative MC. When $V_{C}$ is larger than $Δ$, the Kondo resonances form bonding and anti-bonding levels, located below and above $E_F$, respectively. We observe a positive MC since the Zeeman splitting increases the overlap between the levels at $E_F$. In the presence of the antiferromagnetic spin coupling between the dots, the sign of MC can change as a function of the gate voltage.
