Abstract
To investigate Fano resonances in the system of quantum dots (QDs), the conduction spectra for a fullerene C 60 is calculated in consideration of distortion effects for some characteristic modes. In mesoscopic systems, the Fano effect has mainly been observed in an Aharonov–Bohm (AB) ring system with a QD. In the present paper, we would like to stress that a referential path of an AB ring is not required to obtain asymmetric Fano resonances in C 60 . The interference between a narrow peak and a long tail of a wide peak causes the Fano resonance in this molecule. The former plays the role of the discrete level and the latter the continuum state. These levels originate from a degenerate state through the effect of distortion. In particular, a dip structure giving zero conductance as the destructive interference appears in the cases of distortions with odd parity. In addition, another type of conductance dip is found at a multiply degenerate level when the electrodes are attached to C 60 without axial symmet...
