V. Holm, H. I. Jørgensen, K. Grove-Rasmussen, J. Paaske, K. Flensberg, and P. E. Lindelof<br/>We have studied electron transport in clean single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots. Because of the large number of the Coulomb blockade diamonds simultaneously showing both shell structure and the Kondo effect, we are able to perform a detailed analysis of tunneling renormalization effects.

Ortega<br/>The potassium monolayer on Cu(111) defines the simplest metallic quantum well that confines a single s -like discrete level. The analysis of the metallization onset in such a K adlayer reveals, however, a subtle electronic structure. The metallic monolayer condensate is actually characterized by a p...<br/>[Phys. Rev.
