Abstract
We study photon-assisted transport in a single-level quantum dot system under a periodically oscillating field. Photon-assisted current noises in the presence of the Coulomb interaction are calculated based on a gauge-invariant formulation of time-dependent transport. We derive the vertex corrections within the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation in terms the Floquet-Green's functions (Floquet-GFs), and examine the effects of the Coulomb interaction on the photon-assisted current noises. Moreover, we introduce a concept of an effective temperature to characterize nonequilibrium properties under the influence of the AC field. The vertex corrections are suppressed by the rise of the effective temperature, whereas characteristic resonant structures appear in the frequency spectra of the vertex corrections. The present result provides a useful viewpoint for understanding photon-assisted transport in interacting electron systems.
