Effective spin-orbit coupling in a benzene interference SET — •Andrea Donarini, Georg Begemann, Dana Darau, and Milena Grifoni — University of Regensburg, Germany

Electronic transport through a benzene single electron transistor is dominated by the interplay between Coulomb interaction and interference between degenerate molecular states. The presence of spin polarized leads induces a novel spin accumulation effect explained in terms of an effective coupling between the orbital and spin degrees of freedom of the molecule.
