Abstract
We investigate the behavior of the dc electronic current in an interacting quantum dot driven by two ac local potentials oscillating with a frequency and a phase lag . We provide analytical functions to describe the fingerprints of the Coulomb interaction in an experimental vs characteristic curve. We show that the Kondo resonance, at low temperatures, reduces the frequency range for the linear behavior of in to take place and determines the evolution of the dc current as the temperature increases.
