Abstract

We investigate the conductance of quantum wires with a variable open quantum dot geometry, displaying an exceptionally strong Kondo effect and most of the 0.7 structure characteristics. Our results indicate that the 0.7 structure is not a manifestation of the singlet Kondo effect. However, specific similarities between our devices and many of the clean quantum wires reported in the literature suggest a weakly bound state is often present in real quantum wires.
