Alternative equation of motion approach applied to transport through a Quantum Dot

We study non-equilibrium electron transport through a quantum dot coupled to metallic leads. We use an alternative equation of motion approach in which we calculate the retarded Green function of the impurity by differentiating Green functions over both time variables. Such an approach allows us to obtain the resonance Kondo state in the particle-hole symmetric case and in the asymmetric cases. We apply this technique for calculating the density of the states of quantum dot and the differential conductance as a function of bias voltage. The differential conductance dependence on temperature and on Coulomb interaction is also calculated.
