Waiting time-distribution of a quantum-dot spin valve — •Björn Sothmann — Département de Physique Théorique, Université de Genève, Genève, Switzerland

Recently, the study of waiting-time distributions of electron transport has received a lot of interest [1]. It can provide information about transport processes that is complementary to average current and noise. Here, we discuss the waiting-time distribution of a a quantum-dot spin valve [2], i.e., a single-level quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic electrodes with magnetizations that can point in arbitrary directions [3]. We demonstrate that the rich transport physics of this setup, such as the dynamical channel blockade and spin precession in an interaction-driven exchange field, shows up in the waiting-time distribution, and we analyze the conditions necessary to observe the various effects.
