Strong variations of the TMR with gate voltage over a range of four conductance resonances, including a peculiar double-dip signature, are observed. The data is compared to calculations in the \"dressed second order\" (DSO) framework. In this non-perturbative theory, conductance peak positions and linewidths are affected by charge fluctuations incorporating the properties of the CNT quantum dot and the ferromagnetic leads. The theory is able to qualitatively reproduce the experimental data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-06T19:47:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "carbon nanotube quantum dot", "ferromagnetic", "non-perturbative modeling", "experiment", "cnt quantum dot" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150202005D" } } }
