A carbon nanotube quantum dot in the intermediate coupling regime: Conductance and tunnel magnetoresistance — •Alois Dirnaichner, Johannes Kern, and Milena Grifoni — Universität Regensburg

We discuss transport through carbon nanotube quantum dots with intermediate coupling to ferromagnetic leads. In a density matrix approach we sum up infinite-order corrections due to charge fluctuations within the dressed second order approximation (DSO) [1], allowing us to go beyond the sequential tunneling regime. From the master equation we deduce conductance and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). The results are compared to experimental data with a pronounced gate modulation of the TMR and negative TMR features in particular.
