The non- equilibrium spin accumulation on the island caused by a finite current through the system is described by a generalized theory of the Coulomb blockade. It enhances the tunnel magnetoresistance and has a drastic effect on the time- dependent transport properties. A transient decay of the spin accumulation may reverse the electric current on time scales of the order of the spin-flip relaxation time. This can be used as an experimental signature of the non- equilibrium spin accumulation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-12-14T15:55:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ferromagnetic single-electron transistors", "non-equilibrium spin accumulation", "dependent transport properties", "spin-flip relaxation time", "coulomb blockade" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
