Tunneling contributions of first and second order in the tunnel-coupling strength are taken into account. We analyze the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) for all combinations of linear and nonlinear response, at or off resonance, with an even or odd dot-electron number. Different mechanisms for transport and spin accumulation the various regimes give rise to different TMR behavior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-07-15T07:12:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dots", "tunnel magnetoresistance", "cotunneling regimes", "ferromagnetic", "sequential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
