Spin effects in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors
Electron tunneling in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors is considered theoretically in the sequential tunneling regime. A new formalism is developed, which operates in a two-dimensional space of states, instead of one-dimensional space used in the spinless case. It is shown that spin fluctuations can be significantly larger than the charge fluctuations. The influence of discrete energy ...
متن کاملMeasurements of Kondo and spin splitting in single-electron transistors.
We measure the spin splitting in a magnetic field B of localized states in single-electron transistors using a new method, inelastic spin-flip cotunneling. Because it involves only internal excitations, this technique gives the most precise value of the Zeeman energy Delta=/g/mu(B)B. In the same devices we also measure the splitting with B of the Kondo peak in differential conductance. The Kond...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium spin accumulation in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors
We study transport in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors. The non-equilibrium spin accumulation on the island caused by a finite current through the system is described by a generalized theory of the Coulomb blockade. It enhances the tunnel magnetoresistance and has a drastic effect on the time-dependent transport properties. A transient decay of the spin accumulation may reverse the ele...
متن کاملEnhancement-mode quantum transistors for single electron spin
Using an InAs/GaSb composite quantum well, we demonstrate an enhancement mode single electron transistor. With a Hall bar geometry, we show that the device undergoes a transition from accumulation of two-dimensional (2D) holes in GaSb to a complete depletion and finally to an inversion layer of 2D electrons in InAs. When the top-gate area is reduced to nanometer scale, the inversion electrons a...
