Abstract

We study the nonequilibrium transport through a single-level quantum dot weakly coupled to Luttinger liquid leads. A general shot noise expression is derived by using nonequilibrium Green function technique. We find that the differential shot noise and differential conductance demonstrate resonant-like behavior as a function of the bias voltage and the quantum dot's energy level for a weak or moderately strong interaction. In the limit of strong electron–electron interaction, the resonant behavior disappears and shows bias-voltage-dependent power law scalings. And the Fano factor also scales as a power law in high bias voltage region. In addition, the Fano factor is enhanced with the electron–electron interaction increased. It implies that the Fano factor can be controlled by tuning the electron–electron interaction in the leads.
