ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2012.03.011 | Abstract: | We theoretically study spin-polarized current through a single electron tunneling transistor (SETT), in which a quantum dot (QD) is coupled to non-magnetic source and drain electrodes via tunnel junctions, and gated by a ferromagnetic (FM) electrode. The I-V characteristics of the device are investigated for both spin and charge currents, based on the non-equilibrium Greens function formalism. The FM electrode generates a magnetic field, which causes a Zeeman spin-splitting of the energy levels in the QD. By tuning the size of the Zeeman splitting and the source-drain bias, a fully spin-polarized current is generated. Additionally, by modulating the electrical gate bias, one can effect a complete switch of the polarization of the tunneling current from spin-up to spin-down current, or vice versa. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
