Electrical control of the Kondo effect in a helical edge liquid    [PDF]

Erik Eriksson, Anders Ström, Girish Sharma, Henrik Johannesson
Magnetic impurities affect the transport properties of the helical edge states of quantum spin Hall insulators by causing single-electron backscattering. We study such a system in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit interaction induced by an external electric field, showing that this can be used to control the Kondo temperature, as well as the correction to the dc conductance due to the impurity.
