Spin valve effect and negative tunnel magnetoresistance in a quantum dot transistor

Description

We study the spin polarized transport through a quantum dot transistor. It is shown that the interplay of large Coulomb interaction and optically induced spin accumulation gives rise to the spin valve effect over a range of bias. We also find negative tunnel magnetoresistance for system with ferromagnetic electrodes.
