✦ Synopsis
We investigate the Kondo effect of a multiorbital quantum dot coupled to spin polarized leads, using the noncrossing approximation. It is shown that as the spin polarization is increased, the Kondo peak splits into three peaks and the middle one is located close to the Fermi energy. The results indicate that the Kondo effect caused by the orbital degrees of freedom survives, while the Kondo effect by the spin degrees of freedom is suppressed. In the temperature dependence of the conductance, the hump structure emerges owing to the contribution from the orbital and spin degrees of freedom.

## Abstract Electron tunneling through a spin‐split discrete level of an interacting quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic electrodes with non‐collinear magnetizations is investigated theoretically by means of the nonequilibrium Green function approach. It is shown that the spin splitting of the
We investigate anti-resonances in the conductance of a ferromagnetic lead with a side-coupled quantum dot resulting from interference between a resonant and a nonresonant path through the system. The transport properties of electrons are derived in Coulomb blockade regime by the use of the equivalen
Non-equilibrium Green's function technique has been used to calculate spin-dependent electronic transport through a quantum dot in the Kondo regime. The dot is described by the Anderson Hamiltonian and is coupled symmetrically to two ferromagnetic leads, whose magnetic moments are noncollinear. It i
Photon-assisted electron transport for resonant tunneling has been investigated by using a current formula developed based on the nonequilibrium Green's function technique. We have studied the external frequency dependence as well as the energy level position dependence for the resonant ac tunneling
