In the linear regime the spin-induced magnetoresistance oscillates with gate voltage in quantitative agreement with calculations based on a Landauer-Buttiker model for independent electrons. Consistent with this interpretation, we find evidence for bias-induced oscillation in the spin-induced magnetoresistance signal on the scale of the level spacing in the nanotube. At higher bias, the spin-induced magnetoresistance disappears because of a sharp decrease in the effective spin-polarization injected from the ferromagnetic electrodes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-06-18T09:47:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single-wall carbon nanotubes", "spin-dependent quantum interference", "ferromagnetic contacts", "high-transparency ferromagnetic electrodes", "sharp decrease" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
