For this purpose, a generalization of the traditional generation-recombination approach is made for properly taking into account the coherent superposition of electronic states, i.e., the nondiagonal density matrix elements. Our numerical calculations find that the Fano factor increases with increasing the polarization of the two leads, but decreases with increasing the intradot spin-flip scattering.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-07-19T03:16:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interacting quantum dot", "intradot spin-flip scattering", "resonant tunneling", "temperature dependent quantum rate equations", "zero-frequency shot noise spectra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
