* ABSTRACT | |||||||
Electron transport in a two-electrode mesoscopic system under bias can be studied by obtaining the local density of states for a given bias. However, relevant method to obtain the local density of states for a given bias does not exist. I propose a new approach for calculating the retarded Green’s function for a given bias. A systematic way of determining the basis vectors for the Anderson Hamiltonian is introduced. This method may replace the well-known Lanczos algorithm. Then, the unnecessary basis vectors for describing Kondo regime are deleted and a reduced Liouville space is constructed. The retarded Green’s function is obtained nonperturbatively on this Liouville space. I show that this Green’s function contains the unique features of the single-impurity Anderson model that are shown by Fermi liquid theory and that the basis vectors for the two-reservoir Anderson model are obtained by simple extension of the basis of the single-reservoir Anderson model. The effect of bias in the two-reservoir Anderson model is contained in the matrix elements from which the retarded Green’s function is obtained. |
