Abstract

We report Kondo-like behaviour in a quantum antidot (a submicron depleted region in a two-dimensional electron gas) in the quantum-Hall regime ( ∼1 T ). When both spins of the lowest Landau level are present all around the antidot, the resonances between extended edge states via antidot bound states show an abnormal feature in alternate Coulomb-blockaded regions. The feature becomes suppressed when the temperature or source–drain bias is raised as for Kondo resonances in quantum dots. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, Kondo-like correlated tunnelling may arise from a skyrmion-type edge reconstruction, or from the formation of compressible states.
