✦ Synopsis
We studied, strongly correlated states in triangular artificial atoms. Symmetry-driven orbital degeneracy of the single particle states can give rise to an SUð4Þ Kondo state with entangled orbital and spin degrees of freedom, and a characteristic phase shift d ¼ p=4: Upon application of a Zeeman field, a purely orbital Kondo state is formed with somewhat smaller Kondo temperature and a fully polarized current through the device. The Kondo temperatures are in the measurable range. The triangular atom also provides a tool to systematically study the singlet -triplet transitions observed in recent experiments [Phys.

## Abstract We fabricated a spin‐filtering device which consists of InAs based two‐dimensional electron gas and two ferromagnetic pads. A fringe field at the edge of a ferromagnetic pad was used to induce spin polarization of the moving electrons in a two‐dimensional electron gas. The direction of
