Weak spin-orbit coupling produces very limited current induced spin accumulation in semiconductor nanostructures. We demonstrate a possibility to increase parametrically the spin polarization using the Kondo effect. As a model object we…
In a single state of a quantum dot the Kondo effect arises due to the spin-degeneracy, which is present if the dot is occupied with one electron (N = 1). The eigenstates of a carbon nanotube quantum dot possess an additional orbital…
We study the T=0 Kondo physics of a spin-1/2 impurity in a non-centrosymmetric metal with spin-orbit interaction. Within a simple variational approach we compute ground state properties of the system for an {\it arbitrary} form of…
We consider magnetic impurities coupled to a conduction sea via a fully isotropic ferromagnetic spin-exchange term, the strength of which depends on the conduction-electron modes involved in the scattering. In the single-impurity case we…
We examine the influence of the superconducting proximity effect on the transport properties of a T-shaped double quantum dot strongly coupled to two normal, nonmagnetic or ferromagnetic leads. We show that the two-stage Kondo screening may…
