We present measurements on spin blockade in a laterally integrated quantum dot. The dot is tuned into the regime of strong Coulomb blockade, confining ~ 50 electrons. At certain electronic states we find an additional mechanism suppressing…

We present a theory of a single-electron transistor exchange-coupled to a localized spin. We show how to gain detailed quantitative knowledge about the attached spin such as spin size, exchange coupling strength, Land\'e g-factor, and spin…

We present a new mechanism for a spin blockade effect associated with a change in the type of magnetic anisotropy over oxidation state in a single molecule transistor, by taking an example of an individual Eu$_{2}$(C$_{8}$H$_{8}$)$_{3}$…

The electronic origin of a large resistance change in nanoscale junctions incorporating spin crossover molecules is demonstrated theoretically by using a combination of density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's functions…

We report a study of transport blockade features in a quantum dot single-electron transistor, based on an undoped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. We observe suppression of transport through the ground state of the dot, as well as negative…

We report on the observation of Kondo and split Kondo peaks in single-molecule transistors containing a single spin transition molecule with a Fe2+ ion. Coulomb blockade characteristics reveal a double quantum dot behavior in a parallel…

Singlet-triplet spin blockade in a few-electron lateral double quantum dot is investigated using simultaneous transport and charge-sensing measurements. Transport from the (1,1) to the (0,2) electron occupancy states is strongly suppressed…

We review the peculiarities of transport through a quantum dot caused by the spin transition in its ground state. Such transitions can be induced by a magnetic field. Tunneling of electrons between the dot and leads mixes the states…

We demonstrate a tunable negative differential resistance controlled by spin blockade in single electron transistors. The single electron transistors containing a few electrons and spin polarized source and drain contacts were formed in…

An important consequence of the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in metallic magnetic multilayers is a broad interest in spin dependent effects in electronic transport through magnetic nanostructures. An example of such systems are…

Spin blockade occurs when an electron is unable to access an energetically favorable path through a quantum dot due to spin conservation, resulting in a blockade of the current through the dot. Spin blockade is the basis of a number of…

We study peculiarities of transport through a Coulomb blockade system tuned to the vicinity of the spin transition in its ground state. Such transitions can be induced in practice by application of a magnetic field. Tunneling of electrons…

Asymmetry in a three-electron double quantum dot (DQD) allows spin blockade, when spin-3/2 (quadruplet) states and spin-1/2 (doublet) states have different charge configurations. We have observed this DQD spin blockade near the (1,2)-(2,1)…

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the behavior of Coulomb blockade (CB) peaks in a magnetic field that couples principally to the ground-state spin (rather than the orbital moment) of a chaotic quantum dot. In the first part,…

We find an analytical expression for the conductance of a single electron transistor in the regime when temperature, level spacing, and charging energy of a grain are all of the same order. We consider the model of equidistant energy levels…

We consider a mixture of two species of spin-1 atoms with both interspecies and intraspecies spin exchanges in a weak magnetic field. Under the usual single mode approximation, it can be reduced to a model of coupled giant spins. We find…

Pauli blockade mechanisms -- whereby carrier transport through quantum dots is blocked due to selection rules even when energetically allowed -- are a direct manifestation of the Pauli exclusion principle, as well as a key mechanism for…

In solid state physics, giant magnetoresistance is the large change in electrical resistance due to an external magnetic field. Here we show that giant magnetoresistance is possible in a spin chain composed of weakly interacting layers of…

A complete numerical description of the charge and spin dynamics of a two-electron system confined in narrow nanowire quantum dots under oscillating electric field is presented in the context of recent electric dipole spin resonance…

We consider the effect of adding electrons to a single molecule on its magnetic properties and the resulting transport fingerprints. We analyze a generic model for a metal-organic complex consisting of orbitals with different Coulomb…
