Abstract

We investigate linear and nonlinear transport in a double quantum dot system weakly coupled to spin-polarized leads. In the linear regime, the conductance as well as the nonequilibrium spin accumulation are evaluated in analytic form. The conductance as a function of the gate voltage exhibits four peaks of different heights with mirror symmetry with respect to the charge neutrality point. As the ...
