Kondo Effect in Nanostructures Michael Pustilnik School of Physics, Georgia Tech   The Kondo effect arises whenever coupling to a Fermi gas induces transitions within an otherwise degenerate ground state multiplet of an interacting system. Both coupling to a Fermi gas and interactions are naturally present in a nanoscale transport experiment. At the same time, many nanostructures can easily be tuned to the vicinity of a degeneracy point. This is why the Kondo effect in its various forms often dominates the low temperature transport in nanoscale systems. In this talk we will review the theory of the Kondo effect in transport through nanostructures and briefly discuss the latest developments in this field.
