It is shown that the QD level is spin-split due to presence of ferromagnetic electrodes, leading to a suppression of the Kondo effect. We find that the Kondo effect can be restored by compensating this splitting with a magnetic field. Although the resulting Kondo resonance then has an unusual spin asymmetry with a reduced Kondo temperature, the ground state is still a locally-screened state, describable by Fermi liquid theory and a generalized Friedel sum rule, and transport in the unitary limit is not spin dependent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-01-29T11:31:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kondo effect", "itinerant-electron ferromagnetism", "nrg study", "artificial magnetic impurities", "generalized friedel sum rule" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
