Abstract
As spintronics goes nano, new phenomena are predicted resulting from the interplaybetween spin dependent transport and single electron physics. The long term goal ofmanipulating spins one by one would open a promising path to quantum computing.Towards this end, there is an ever-growing effort to connect spin tanks (i.e. ferromagneticleads) to smaller and smaller objects in order to study spintronics in reduced dimensions.As the dimensions are reduced, spin dependent transport is predicted to interplay withquantum and/or single electron charging effects. We review experiments andtheories on the interplay between Coulomb blockade and spin properties (namelymagneto-Coulomb effects) in structures where a single nano-object is connected toferromagnetic leads. We then discuss briefly future directions in the emerging field ofnanospintronics towards quantum dots, carbon nanotubes and single molecule magnets.
