We model weakly coupled double-dot transport using a rate equation approach which accounts for Hyperfine flip-flop transitions. The rate equations allow us to obtain self-consistently the time evolution for electronic charge occupations and for the nuclei polarizations in each dot. We analyze the current in the spin blockade region as a function of magnetic field and observe hysteretic behavior for fields corresponding to the crossing between triplet and singlet states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-12-25T18:25:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.60.Ej", "71.70.Jp", "68.65.Hb", "73.40.-c" ], "keywords": [ "spin blockade regime", "hysteretic behavior", "double quantum dot systems", "spin blockade region", "model weakly coupled double-dot transport" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Dec", "volume": 91, "number": 25, "pages": 252112 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007ApPhL..91y2112I" } } }
