The time-dependent non-crossing approximation is utilized to determine the effects of the crystal planes of gold contacts on time dependent current through a quantum dot suddenly shifted into the Kondo regime via a gate voltage. For an asymmetrically coupled system, instantaneous conductance exhibits complex fluctuations. We identify the frequencies participating in these fluctuations and they turn out to be proportional to the separation between the sharp features in the density of states and the Fermi level in agreement with previous studies. Based on this observation, we predict that using different crystal planes as electrodes would give rise to drastically different transient currents which can be accessed with ultrafast pump-probe techniques.
