Based in the combination of bound states in the continuum and Fano effect, we propose a new design of a spin-dependent polarizer. By lifting the spin degeneracy of the carriers in the quantum dots by means of a magnetic field the system can be used as a spin-polarized device. A detailed analysis of the spin-dependent conductance and spin polarization as a function of the applied magnetic field and gate voltages is carried out.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-30T16:37:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bound state", "spin filter", "artificial molecules", "gate voltages", "quantum dot molecule" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.physb.2014.07.047", "journal": "Physica B Condensed Matter", "year": 2014, "month": "Dec", "volume": 455, "pages": 66 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhyB..455...66R" } } }
