Abstract

AbstractA quantum dot with a single energy level coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes is considered within the slave boson approach. Magnetic polarisation of the leads induces the spin accumulation at the dot. Its maximum occurs in the mixed valence range and decreases to zero in the Kondo regime. We have calculated the conductance for parallel and antiparallel orientations of polarisation of electrodes. Magnetoresistance takes the largest values in the empty state regime, considerably decreases in mixed valence range and reaches the smallest values in the Kondo regime, where in some cases even negative magnetoresistance can occur.
